WOODLAND HILLS, CA - This year was the 10th anniversary of the Berlin Venus Awards, one of the largest international trade and awards shows, featuring exhibitors, attendees and nominees from over 20 counties.

Up against stiff competition from other male actors from all over the world, Tommy Gunn took home the Best International Actor award.

This has been a busy year for Tommy Gunn at the awards shows, starting off 2006 at AVN winning Best Sex Scene (Video) and Best Supporting Actor for Pirates, 3 Temptation awards, the Night Moves award for Best New Director and of course hosting the FAME Awards with Carmen Luvana.

“It was a real surprise receiving the news that I had been nominated in this category. I understand the Venus show is a pretty prestigious event and just to be nominated was a thrill in itself. It's nice to be recognized not only nationally, but internationally as well. I received the good news that I had won while I was on the set for Vivid, my wife Rita Faltoyano, who was at the show, phoned me up shortly after accepting the award on my behalf and thanking Antigua Pictures and Vivid. I would also like to include in that thanks Paul Thomas who directed To Die For, the cast and crew, Vivid and Venus and everybody involved in making this a reality,” Tommy said.
