Michael Lucas, the founder and president of Lucas Entertainment, was born on March 10, 1972, in Moscow, Russia. He spent his early years in Moscow, where he attended college and graduated with a degree in law.
Lucas' interest in modeling and television led him to move to Germany and France, where he appeared on several European programs and magazine covers. In 1998, he opened his own production company, Lucas Entertainment, in New York City.
This marked the beginning of Lucas' directorial career, and he made his debut with the well-received film "Back in the Saddle". The film showcased Lucas' unique vision and style, which would become a hallmark of his work.
Lucas Entertainment was founded in New York City, a deliberate choice that allowed Lucas to showcase the diversity of types and ethnicities found in the city. This approach set his company apart from others in the industry.
In addition to his work in film, Lucas also founded Lucas Distribution, Inc. in 2004 and LucasBlog.com in 2005. These ventures expanded his reach into the realms of adult video distribution and online media.
One of Lucas' most notable films is "Dangerous Liaisons", a high-budget remake of the classic novel. The film featured celebrity cameos from RuPaul, Boy George, Graham Norton, Bruce Vilanch, and Michael Musto, and was released in the summer of 2005.
Lucas' most buzzed about film to date is "Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita", which was filmed in 2006. The production included a big-budget fashion show, a sex-filled club orgy scene, and a headline-making fountain scene with Vivid star Savanna Samson.
In addition to his work in film, Lucas is also an American citizen, having been sworn in on November 12, 2004.
