Dirk Alan Shafer (born November 7, 1962 in Carbondale, Illinois) is an American model, actor, screenwriter and director. He is most noted in the modeling world for being Playgirl magazine's "Man of the Year" for 1992. He did Playgirl for "validation" as a model because he never believed himself to be attractive.[1] Shafer would go on to write, direct and star in Man of the Year, a mockumentary about his time as a semi-closeted gay man in the role of a heterosexual sex symbol. Shafer's next directorial project was Circuit, a fictional look at the world of gay male circuit parties.[2]
Shafer now works as a fitness trainer and certified Pilates instructor.[3]
