Las Vegas, NV. — Thursday evening at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, producer, director and star Ron Jeremy, won the Most Innovative Actor Award, beating out hopefuls like Jennifer Steele. Mr. Jeremy accepted the award given by the Exotic Dancer Organization and Ed Publishing, with style, grace, and humor.

I just got off the phone with RJ, who is on his way to New York. He feels so honored to have won the award. Our very own Barnacle Bill the Sailorâ„¢, and Metro’s biggest star told me, “To be nominated and then to win is a privilege and an honor.” He sincerely hopes that he has paved the way for all the new talent coming up.
