Race Cooper, born December 5, 1973, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is a former gay pornographic actor and fitness professional. Initially believing himself to be straight, a pivotal personal experience led him to explore his sexuality fully. He entered the adult film industry at age 35 around 2009, quickly becoming known for his muscular build, versatile performances, and work with major studios like Raging Stallion. As the only Black exclusive contract performer at the time, he publicly discussed facing racial discrimination and unequal pay in the business.
Active until about 2014, Cooper appeared in numerous scenes before retiring from porn. Relocating to San Francisco, he transitioned successfully into fitness, becoming a personal trainer, model, and owner of SF Squared gym. Through interviews, he shares stories of transformation, resilience, and industry challenges, inspiring others with his journey of self-discovery and advocacy for better practices in adult entertainment.
