notes

Moved between straight and gay videos appearing in about 20 straight videos from 1978 to 1986 starting with "China Sisters" and others such as "The Devil in Miss Jones" and "Jack 'n Jill."
His autobiography "The Jack Wrangler Story, or What's a Nice Boy Like You Doing?" by Jack Wrangler and Carl Johnes, St. Martin's Press, New York, 1984, is a humorously entertaining and self deprecating story of a man raised by a wealthy Hollywood couple, didn't get far in 'legit' theater, loved men, starred in gay videos, switched to straight videos and married a female singer 22 years his senior. While a fun read, it doesn't seem to explain the depths of who he is and why he did the things he did.
Wrangler was one of the first gay performers to cultivate a persona, sort of a Western/cowboy, masculine appeal. Director Steve Scott said he was "no longer real because we've seen all his films and he's always the same." Jack Deveau also felt that Wrangler over marketed himself. He also was involved in sales of penis pumps and dildos of his own cock and had a national performance tour in at least 1977.
In 1975 he appeared on stage as a go-go boy in Special Friends directed by Dean Goodman. In 1976 he performed in Rusty along with Michael Kearns.
