Career

Vincent began his career in the 1960s in Regional theater and Off-Broadway in a variety of roles behind the scenes.[2]

In 1970 he made his first short film called The Appointment.[3] He then moved on to doing feature length softcore and hardcore pornography films. His most highly regarded work was his 1981 film Roommates, which received wide acclaim both in the porn industry and mainstream press.[4]
