Aiden Shaw (born 22 February 1966, Harrow, London, United Kingdom) is a British-born pornographic actor (porn star) who appears in American pornographic movies aimed at a gay audience.
Shaw was born in an Irish Catholic family. At the age of 18, he enrolled in a performance and visual arts course at Brighton College. At this time, he also began working as a male prostitute to earn money.
In the early 1990s, he moved to Los Angeles, California, USA, and began working in the gay porn industry as a performer. He has appeared in over fifty porn movies made by Falcon Studios, Catalina Films, and Studio 2000.
In 1996, Shaw wrote a semi-autobiographical novel, Brutal. In 1997, a collection of his poetry was published. He subsequently worked as a writer, composer, poet and singer, and works only occasionally in pornography.
He was diagnosed as HIV-positive in 1997.
His first mainstream film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (for which he also wrote the music) was released in 2000.
In a sort of homage to the gay porn star, Aiden Shaw achieved something like mainstream celebrity status, when his name was given to John Corbett's popular character in the HBO dramedy 'Sex In The City.' (It started a trend; James Denton plays handsome neighborhood plumber "Mike Delfino" (also the name of a classic gay porn star) in the ABC series Desperate Housewives.)
