Anthony Gallo (born Antonio Morais) is a gay adult film star whose tough demeanor made him noticeably conspicuous against the standard-issue look for the industry. A native of São Paulo, Brazil, Gallo was employed as a private English tutor and moonlighted as a competitive bodybuilder. He was introduced into the world of gay pornography by noted director Kristen Bjorn, whose roster of pretty-faced, slender stars were the polar opposites of his new performer.

Gallo emigrated from Brazil to market himself in the busy Los Angeles adult scene. By the mid 1990s, he was making a steady stream of appearances in gay porn movies. He is popular with porn fans because of his close-cropped (sometimes shaved) head of hair, stubble, bedroom eyes, and hirsute, thickset frame and large uncircumcised penis. Although his look was type-specific, he managed to avoid typecasting, and appeared in range of diverse productions, adapting to any sexual role.

Gallo was one of an increasing number of male stars who were openly gay and not shy about revealing it. He briefly gravitated away from the industry at the insistence of his partner, but he returned when the relationship ended. His roles became fewer and far between -- and his appearance more svelte -- by 1999. He retired from the industry shortly thereafter.

Gallo had a son who he named Anthony Gallo II. He followed in his father's footsteps and is featured in many gay porn movies. The industry was too tough for him and he decided to go into retail. His love for shoes turned him on to Ladies Shoe Buying. When everyone leaves the office. Gallo goes into the shoe sample closet and tries on all the high heels. His lover, Kyle Mcklevey also works in shoes. They currently reside in a studio apartment on Christopher St. in New York City. They are looking into adopting mentally disabled children and midgets. Gallo is looking foward to naming his first daughter Tommy the Tardo. They will be fantastic parents. Do it!
