Career
Diesel moved from Las Vegas, Nevada to Los Angeles, California at age 23 in pursuit of a career in bodybuilding. At age 28, he began posing solo for several magazines. In 2010, New Sensations created a dildo replica of Shane Diesel"s penis measured longer than 10 inches.
A few years after the events of 9/11, changes in airline travel took effect after certain legislation, and Shane received a huge paycut from his airline job.
He began his main venture into pornography at the age of 39. Diesel says he was fortunate to start porn at age 39 because porn at a young age "can really screw you up." He picked the name "Shane" because he wanted a name that began with "South" (his first choice was Shawn), and he picked the name "Diesel" after a porn worker told him that he resembles, in many physical aspects, Vin Diesel.
Diesel signed an exclusive performing contract with Digital Sin in 2005. He eventually became known for his role as Blackzilla in several series produced by Hush Hush Entertainment.
These movies consisted of Diesel specifically having sex with Caucasian college girls and then, during intercourse, making them utter racial statements and words (especially the word "Nigger").
In January 2008, looking to pursue a career in directing, he retired from the role. In 2014, he said that he still holds his long-time airline job, where everyone knows that he is a pornstar. He says that managing these two jobs (pornstar and airline work) is "a double life," as he transforms into another person named "Shane Diesel" on-screen.
Mainstream appearances Diesel and Ashlynn Brooke were jointly interviewed by AskMen in 2008 on how to audition for porn.
