One of the most successful XXX filmmakers of the 90s, Adam Glasser established himself as the king of gonzo video directors. He is a guy with short curly hair, and a glint in his eye that makes it clear that he loves what he's doing. Adam Glasser is a true lady killer who has been linked with some of the best looking women to ever on camera. He was born as Adam Glasser on March 18, 1964. He grew up in the Bronx, New York, the middle child of three. By the early 90s, he had moved to Southern California and bought a gym, which he occasionally rented out to film and TV crews as a set. It was when legendary porn director John Stagliano rented his gym for a hardcore shoot that Glasser saw the light. In his own words, "I realized I was in the wrong business." John favored Adam with a small part in 1990's 'Buttman's Ultimate Workout,' but his main contribution to Glasser's career came next. Stagliano agreed to loan his equipment to Glasser so that he could shoot his own scene, which Adam then shopped around relentlessly at that year's CES show. He was signed by Factory Home Video, where he adopted the name Seymore Butts. From the start, 1992's 'Adventures of Seymore Butts,' it was clear that this was a talent. Adam mastered a cinema style of sex shooting that lent an extra layer of authenticity to every scene he shot, even if they were set up ahead of time. Glasser's videos played for all the world like the private home movies of one heck of an oversexed stud. After producing a smattering of his gonzo sexvideos, Glasser was contacted in 1994 by an young blonde cutie named Shane, who had seen his work and lusted after what she saw. The two hooked up on and off-screen, and the rest is hardcore history. Seymore's pairing with Shane led to some of the classics of gonzo video, including 'Seymore and Shane - Playing With Fire' and 'Seymore and Shane On The Loose.' Shane's antics and Seymore's eye for camera set-ups and capturing action made for an unbeatable pair - until Shane's loose behavior drove Seymore to break things off. He bounced back quickly, though, hooking up with stunning Taylor Hayes, with whom he had a child in 1996. 1997 saw the introduction of the 'Tushy Girls' - Samantha Stylle, Alisha Klass and Halli Aston. Adam was linked romantically with each of them, but somehow each relationship washed out. They produced some of the great moments of the 90s. Among his best movies is 1997's 'Assgasms,' where Seymore hooked up with Vanessa Chase and Taylor Hayes in a pair of hot scenes. 1999 saw the release of 'Thighs Wide Open,' which Glasser in a foursome with Alisha, Bridgette Kerkove and McKayla Matthews. His career has been beset by legal problems. His first protracted court battle was with Factory Home Video, who he left in 1995 to work for Ultimate Video. Factory claimed ownership of the name 'Seymore Butts,' and said that Glasser owed them for stealing the moniker. Years of briefs and hearings later, Glasser won on a technicality and was free to continue using the name. Seymore's hardest legal challenge, though, came from the Los Angeles Prosecutors office. In December 2000, acting on an anonymous tip, authorities raided Glasser's SoCal offices. He was charged with obscenity in April 2001, due to a 'fisting' scene in 'Tampa Tushy Fest.' Seymore vowed to fight the charges with everything he had, settling the matter in March 2002. In exchange for pleading guilty to a reduced 'public nuisance' charge and paying a $1000 fine, he was cleared of all other charges and won the right to distribute the unedited version of 'Tampa Tushy Fest' in California. Glasser considers it a victory against censorship, and the case raised his profile. He continues to direct videos, although he's eased back from the shooting pace of his early career. His shooting style has won him praise from unlikely sources, and he's even been the subject of a short documentary piece on the Independent Film Channel. The King of Gonzo Video, Seymore Butts is a name that will go down in hardcore history as one of the most talented.
