Jon Dough (born Chester "Chet" Joseph Anuszak; November 12, 1962 – August 27, 2006) was an American

pornographic actor
active between 1985 and 2006.

Early life

Dough was born Chester Anuszak and grew up in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. When he was eight years old, his mother's boyfriend began sexually abusing him and his younger brother. At age 15, Dough was sent to live with his uncle.[2] At the age of 18, Dough enrolled at Albright College in Reading, Pennsylvania. Four years later, he graduated with a degree in biology.

Career

Dough moved to Los Angeles, where he initially intended to seek work as a

soap opera actor. However, a photoshoot with adult magazine Hustler quickly resulted in steady work in the adult industry.[3]

His first film was a short loop he made for Lance Kinkaid in 1985.[4] In 1999, Vivian Valentine received a black eye after being hit by Dough during the filming of Anabolic Video's Rough Sex; however, she has said: "I have no regrets or bad feelings about it".[5]

Dough was a veteran of over 1,400 adult videos as a performer and 71 as a director, according to the

gangbang with 101 women,[6] as well as appearing in the first DVD produced by the porn publisher Hustler
.

He appeared in an episode of

industry, granting BBC Two presenter Louis Theroux several interviews on- and off-set.[7]

Personal life

Dough's first marriage was to

Deidre Holland, a pornographic actress, whom he later divorced.[8] He married pornographic actress Monique DeMoan,[1] with whom he had a daughter in August 2002.[9]

Death and aftermath

Dough died on August 27, 2006, in Chatsworth, California in a suicide by hanging. He was 43 years old. DeMoan discovered Dough's body hanging inside a closet of their home. Dough had survived another suicide attempt a month prior when he was rushed to the hospital and saved.[10] DeMoan subsequently retired from the porn industry. In a 2012 interview with Louis Theroux, she cited Dough's ongoing struggles with drugs and alcohol and growing disillusionment with a porn industry decimated by illegal internet sites as a catalyst for his worsening depression and eventual suicide.[11]

On the day Dough died, DeMoan was napping while Dough was in the living room and their daughter was next door visiting a friend. Upon waking up, DeMoan left the house for a short time and became concerned when Dough could still not be found after she returned home. She soon began calling friends and searching the neighborhood. After two hours of searching, she found his body in a dark walk-in closet in their home. While Dough was someone who typically kept his thoughts to himself, DeMoan says he did begin mentioning suicide in the weeks before his death.[10]

In the aftermath of Dough's death, DeMoan lamented that he had been "a hunk of a man - he's got everything going for him. Nothing seems to faze him," but drug and alcohol abuse eventually got the best of him. She said that even at the height of his struggles, he was always a dedicated father to his young daughter.[10]

Dough was best friends with fellow adult performer

MySpace to raise funds for the funeral costs.[8][12][13]
