Kurt Marshall (born James Allen Rideout, Jr.;[1] November 13, 1965 – October 10, 1988) was a model and an actor who performed in gay pornographic films in the mid-1980s. Although he appeared in only four films,[2] the gay pornographic industry trade publication Unzipped named him one of the top 100 gay porn stars of all time in 2006,[3] author Leigh Rutledge listed him as the ninth most influential gay porn star of all time in 2000,[4] and adult film magazine editor John Erich called him one of the "most beautiful" gay adult film stars of the 1980s.[5]
