You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Jerry Butler''' (May 13, 1959&nbsp;– January 27, 2018) was an American [[pornographic film actor]]. His career lasted from 1981 to 1993, and included more than 500 films.

==Biography==
Butler was born '''Paul David Siederman''' in [[Brooklyn]] to a [[American Jews|Jewish]] father and a mother of half [[Germans|German]]/[[Irish people|Irish]] and half [[Cherokee descent]].<ref name="Butler"/> His paternal grandfather, Sam Siederman, was reportedly the half-brother of [[Russia]]n [[Communism|communist]] leader [[Leon Trotsky]].<ref name="Butler">((cite book|last=Butler|first=Jerry|title=Raw Talent: The Adult Film Industry As Seen by Its Most Famous Male Star|publisher=Prometheus Books|date=September 1990|pages=33–35|isbn=0-87975-625-X))</ref>

Butler initially tried his luck at mainstream acting, performing in a variety of [[Off-Broadway]] plays. He also had a few walk-on appearances on the soap opera ''[[One Life to Live]]'' in 1978 and made an uncredited appearance in [[Frank Henenlotter]]'s 1982 horror film ''[[Basket Case (film)|Basket Case]].''<ref name="OITPA">((cite book |last1=III |first1=Harris M. Lentz |title=Obituaries in the Performing Arts, 2018 |date=2019 |publisher=McFarland |isbn=978-1-4766-7033-1 |pages=54–55 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BfWaDwAAQBAJ&q=jerry+butler+porn+obituary&pg=PT68 |accessdate=1 January 2020 |language=en))</ref> He was generally unhappy with [[Casting couch|the constant pressure to sleep with men in exchange for parts]], and began to slowly grow tired of the wasted effort.<ref name="Butler"/>

He first got into [[hardcore pornography]] in 1981, after answering an advertisement in ''Backstage Magazine'' looking for hardcore actors. He auditioned for a non-sex role and, after a little persuading, ended up with a hardcore sex role in the 1981 film ''Young, Wild and Wonderful''.<ref name="AVN"/>

His stage name was inspired from hearing the [[Jerry Butler]] song "Only the Strong Survive" on the radio while he was picking up his first paycheck. Butler was touted as the most talented male actor in his day, with turns in [[Chuck Vincent (director)|Chuck Vincent]]'s bigger budget adult efforts ''Roommates (1981)'' and ''In Love'' (1983), the latter winning him ''Hustler'''s "Best Actor Award".

During his adult film career, Butler made appearances in three more mainstream films, playing a comedic role in ''[[Preppies_(film)|Preppies]]'' (1984), the dramatic lead in psychological thriller ''Deranged'' (1987), which were both directed by Chuck Vincent, and in the horror film ''[[Evils of the Night]]'' (1985).<ref name="OITPA"/>

According to the [[Internet Adult Film Database]], Butler acted in 656 adult films during his lifetime.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.iafd.com/person.rme/perfid=JButler/gender=m |title=Jerry Butler — IAFD.com |access-date=2018-02-01))</ref>

==Personal life==
In 1987, Butler married former child actress [[Lisa Loring]], who was best known for playing [[Wednesday Addams]] on ''[[The Addams Family (1964 TV series)|The Addams Family]]'' television show in the 1960s. They met on the set of the adult film ''Traci's Big Trick'' (1987), where Loring was working as a [[make-up artist]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/lisa-lorings-husbands-many-kids.html/|title=Who Were Lisa Loring's Husbands? How Many Kids Did She Have?|date=January 30, 2023 |access-date=January 30, 2023))</ref>

In an interview with [[NBC]]'s ''[[Dateline NBC|Dateline]]'' in the 1990s Butler described himself as "addicted to the lifestyle", ashamed of his clandestine behavior and its effect on his marriage. The couple later appeared on the ''[[Sally (talk show)|Sally Jessy Raphael Show]]'', again discussing the damage Butler's porn career was causing to their marriage. Butler and Loring divorced in 1992.<ref name="OITPA"/>

Butler released an autobiography in 1989, as told to [[Robert Rimmer]] and Catherine Tavel, called ''Raw Talent''. The book gave an insider's account of the porn industry. He was forthcoming in the book, giving very intimate details of some of his co-workers in the business, and citing the existence of widespread drug abuse in the industry.<ref name="AVN"/>

Butler re-surfaced in 2003 in a non-sex role in a porn film titled ''Sexy Sluts: Been There, Done That'', released that year, which was directed by underground rapper [[Necro (rapper)|Necro]]. Butler was also a featured guest on Necro's album ''The Sexorcist'' (2005).<ref name="OITPA" />

==Death==
Butler was diagnosed with a [[neoplasm|tumor]] which was removed in an operation, but a subsequent check-up following a cycling accident revealed the [[cancer]] had spread throughout his body and was inoperable. On January 27, 2018, he died in [[Brooklyn|Brooklyn, New York]], aged 58.<ref name="AVN">((cite web|last1=Shaulis|first1=Sherri L|title='80s Adult Icon Jerry Butler Dies|url=https://avn.com/business/articles/video/jerry-butler-actor-in-adult-and-mainstream-dies-761735.html|website=AVN|publisher=Adult Video News|access-date=January 31, 2018))</ref>
