Early Years

During his early years, Tommy grew interested in sports, BMX bicycles, motorcycles, and soccer. He was shy around girls for quite some time until he noticed how girls were interested in bigger and "buffer" guys, so he took up bodybuilding. He entered a "hot body" contest in a local bar, and although he lost the contest, he met a man who offered him work as a stripper. For ten years Tommy worked as a male stripper, traveling all over the country and the world.

In 2010 Gunn appeared in an episode of Entourage. In 2011 he had an unbilled role in Mommy & Me, a comedy film, directed by Jennifer James. In 2012 he appeared in the Louis Theroux documentary "Twilight of the porn stars" discussing the porn industry and his personal experiences within it.
