I am offering a ranked Top 40, and the rest are in alphabetical order - while I felt confident justifying my Top 10, 20 and 40, beyond that, deciding who is #84 vs. It's not science, so please don't flunk me. That said, I've also gone out of my way to give props to guys working today who I think have already made enough of a mark to warrant inclusion. The upper part of the list is top-heavy with classic performers, and I think that is as it should be this is not a snapshot of who's hot at the moment, but an attempt to catalogue the men who've made the industry over the past 50 years.
In choosing which guys to feature and where to feature them, I'm using my own taste my impressions as a former gay-porn industry professional (I worked for Torso, Honcho, Inches, Playguy, Mandate) as to each actor's overall impact during his career each performer's observable longevity as an icon and each performer's groundbreaking status, if any.

With all of that out of the way, what follows is my highly subjective list of “History's 250 Greatest Gay-Porn Stars.” (Note the hyphen, because I have no way of knowing which of these guys were/are gay-for-pay stars, I just know I've seen them in at least one dirty movie targeted to gay men.)

Perhaps those two observations help to explain why we take our porn so very seriously, why we could probably talk for hours about specific scenes that opened our eyes to new activities of which we'd previously never dreamed, and why we are so madly in love with certain familiar faces (and other parts) who seemed to teach us how to do “it” and gave us permission to stop worrying our parents would find out so we could simply enjoy being pigs - at least on occasion. Two: For gay men, with no societal instruction on what happens when two guys fall in love or even just lust, pornography was for decades the primary means by which we could find those answers. We can sometimes treat our partners like crap while still holding our heads up high, yet can wax nostalgic about unbelievably satisfying sexual encounters, revering them as if they were religious experiences.
But if that's true, then men definitely mythologize it too much for our own good. One: Generally speaking, it's thought that women probably emotionalize sex a bit too much for their own good.
