Tom International and Michael Lucas both knew each other way back to when they both still lived in Russia, where Tom was a famous journalist and author of many scandalous books. At one point, Michael even helped Tom find an apartment in the same building where Michael lived in New York's West Village, and then cast Tom in his very first porn movie. Since then, Tom has appeared in numerous adult films while continuing to push the envelope with his artistic pursuits: modeling for controversial photographers such as Bruce LaBruce, and successfully continuing to work on his provocative writing, photography, and drawings.
