Lawyer leads double life as porn star (Reuters)
When his mother found out what porn star Ron Miller does for a living, she was heartbroken. She never wanted him to be a criminal defense lawyer. “My mother cried a lot about that,” Miller said recently between appearances defending accused felons at a Los Angeles courthouse.

Miller, who appears in adult videos as “Don Hollywood,” has carved out a special niche of notoriety on the fringe of Hollywood’s dream factory.

Miller got his break after arranging for his then-girlfriend to shoot a scene in the porn industry. “We did the scene together and I wore a ski mask to try to remain anonymous, but at the end of the scene the director ripped the mask off, and the lawyer was out of the bag, so to speak,” he said.

The couple married three years ago and now jointly host a show on Internet radio and produce a law-themed porn series.
