Gay Porn media websites and even major mainstream news outlets have reported that gay porn actor Dror “Drew” Barak (aka in gay porn stages as Roman Ragazzi) committed suicide on Saturday, Feb. 25, 2012 in his New York City apartment. He was 38-years-old.
Barak was involved in a scandal in 2007, shortly after he broke into the porn industry. The New York Post’s Page Six outed him as a gay porn star while he was working as an Israeli consulate at the United Nations. The article caused Barak to resign from his position but soon after he left, he began working at as a personal trainer for a fitness company called Freedom Fitness.
Barak stopped making porn in 2008 but appeared in a fashion spread with two other gay porn stars for the Jan. 2012, issue of Out Magazine called “New York’s Finest.”
The head of Raging Stallion Studios, Chris Ward, told GayPornBlog.com “He was probably the hottest man I have ever filmed — a massive man of pure beauty, intelligence and kindness. He was perfect in every possible way.” Ward named Barak Raging Stallion’s “Man of the Year” in 2008.
