Will Ryder is an alias for an award-winning director Jeff Mullen, who is responsible for many well-known porn spoofs of American TV classics, such as The Cosby Show, Married With Children, Bewitched and many other parodies. You can always recognize his work, because his movie titles begin with “Not”, like “Not Charlie’s Angels XXX”. In 2008 Will and his company X-Play was awarded a United States Trademark, barring any adult company from using the word “not” in their title. He’s been awarded by AVN and XBIZ for several times, but 2014 was definitely his year, since he’s won “2014 Best Director Awards” at AVN, XBIZ and XRCO.
Personal information and career
Jeffrey Mullen, in porn industry better known as Will Ryder, entered the industry in the 80s, when he used to score music for porn movies. Back in the 80s, Will Ryder was a touring musician, but he went back to porn and became one of the top industry publicists. He represented some notable porn studios, such as Larry Flint’s Hustler Video, and some porn stars, like Hillary Scott and Sunny Lane. While working with Hustler, Will started a series of porn movies called “Barely Legal”, which was pretty successful. He started making porn parodies in 2004, when he made a spoof of pop singer Britney Spears called “Britney Rears: Wild Back Stage Sex Party”, and that was the first modern porn parody. However, the first hit parody was the spoof of Brady Bunch called “Not the Bradys XXX”, which was the inspiration for other porn directors. In 2007 Will was being touted as a “rising star”, but he thought his first movie was a disaster, so he didn’t try to make another one for quite some time. Afterwards, the “Britney Rears” franchise put him back on track and gave him strength to carry on. The success and award nominations came after “Not the Bradys XXX”, which was his top-seller back then. Since then he’s directed more than 90 movies (over 40 parodies), and the most famous are the spoofs of American classics, such as: Charlie’s Angels, M*A*S*H, The Wizard of Oz, The Three Stooges and others. The movie he directed in 2013 called Grease XXX: A Parody turned out to be a great hit, since it brought him three major awards in 2014, at AVN, XBIZ and X-Rated Critic’s Organization (XRCO) award shows for Best Director of the Year. More recently he’s directed American Hustle XXX for Smash Pictures and Cinderella XXX for X-Play. He’s also been studying the game of golf, since he has a new parody on his mind, a spoof of a comedy from the 80s called Caddyshack. More about Will Ryder on Will Ryder Productions Websites

Will Ryder’s quotes
“Porn is like rock ‘n roll in that there are so many wonderful styles and concepts and one man’s gold is another man’s junk pile and I like it like that. “
“We thought we had a huge hit with Britney Rears and all of the sudden we get The Bradys, and I was like holy f—, this is what a hit is. I couldn’t believe it. Pretty soon the industry started paying attention and we started branching out and doing other TV shows, and before you knew it people realized this was the new gold rush in porn… I don’t think people realized that this was more akin to making sitcoms as opposed to making porno. We’re entertainers, not pornographers.”
“You know, making adult movies and surrounding myself with beautiful girls is a wonderful way to make a living but at some point you have to ask is this my destiny and the answer is no. I have other fish to fry so if I was a betting man I would think this might be my last year asking women to remove their panties.”
