Charles Dera (
Pennsylvania, December
21, 1978) is a European-American adult film actor, dancer, model, former United States Marine, and MMA fighter.
A veteran actor of the industry, making his initial
mark in 2007. A native of Philadelphia, Charles has worked also as a dancer and more noticeably a model. His
work as a dancer traces back to touring the
world as a member of the Chippendales. Standing 6-foot-2 and carrying a chiseled 225 pounds, Charles also worked for various underwear companies, modeling their products.
With his good looks, it was no surprise to have found him appearing in Playgirl magazine and being named “Man of the Year” for 2005. He has been recognized with awards from both XRCO and AVN for his work in the pornographic industry and given the length of
time he has been in the business, Charles Dera is a reliable favorite. Sometime between
2004 and 2005, Charles also entered Mixed Martial Arts. During his
short stint in MMA, he had six bouts, with two non-sanctioned fights and four official ones.
Served as a marine from 1997 to 2000, he has a tattoo on his left pectoral muscle of a bulldog with the word “Marines” below it.
