After spending 23 years as a television news anchor and reporter, Jim Walker made an abrupt career change and took the plunge into gay porn.
Now an exclusive with Titan Men, Dallas Steele is opening up about his decision to leave his job at CBS affiliate KTVT in Dallas, where he was nominated for two regional Emmys, and join the gay porn industry.

“I left the business in 2013 after my boss in Southwest Florida told me that research had shown ’people here just don’t like you,’” he said in an interview with Titan Men.
“Add to that, the immense pressure of daily ratings where your job is virtually on the line every single day. TV news as we know it is dying, and the old school model is trying to divide a financial pie that has shrank by 75% in just 15 years.”
“I miss telling great stories, I miss the rush of sharing breaking news and I miss getting to know viewers,” he said.
“What I don’t miss is the schizophrenic management at every station that can’t decide from day to day what they want, and as a result are constantly blaming the talent and trying to make the talent be something they aren’t.”
“If they left the talent the f*ck alone to be who we are, viewers would be a lot happier,” he adds. “Most anchors are so beat down, even they don’t have a clue anymore about who they really are.”
Steele’s gotten plenty of support from his fans, but some Internet haters have accused him of having “a mid-life crisis.”
“They’ve obviously decided at some point that there are limitations about who you can be and what you can do once you hit 40,” he told C&C.

“I’m sorry if the haters have decided that gays over 40 are supposed to put on the board shorts, move to the suburbs and settle down to bridge parties once per week. I don’t plan to ever go quietly into the night.”
