Edit Profile
Career
Nichols" first feature film role was probably in the gay adult film Boynapped! (1975). He subsequently appeared mostly in straight porn films shot in New York, such as Barbara Broadcast, Jail Bait, Summer of Laura, Punk Rock, Marishino Cherries, and Teenage Pajama Party. Posa was credited as Wade Nichols in most of the adult films in which he appeared.
In 1979, using the name Dennis Parker, he recorded a disco album on Casablanca Records entitled Like an Eagle.
The album was produced by Village People creator/producer Jacques Morali. The title track was released as a single and appears on the box set The Casablanca Records Story (1994).
Posa (still as Dennis Parker) joined the cast of the soap opera The Edge of Night in 1979, as Police Chief Derek Mallory. Seriously ill by October 1984, Posa was unable to continue working on The Edge of Night, and his character was written out of the show.
The date of his death is commonly reported as January 28, 1985, but the Social Security Index indicates that Posa died in March of that year.
