Gianfranco

Gianfranco (born March 20, 1971 in Texas, USA), also known as Benny Yip and Johnny Diamond, is a former male pornographic actor (porn star) and current chiropractic doctor living in Los Angeles, California.

Though often misidentified as Italian he is actually of Iranian descent. He performs mostly in the top role, but has performed on occasion in the bottom role toward the end of his film career. He began his porn career in the mid-1990s.

His lifespan in the industry proved brief and he reportedly found producers' demands for his services diminishing. By late 1997, he had largely pushed out of the video end of the porn business, opting to market his trade as an exotic dancer -- he had bulked up his body in the years following his video debut and was named "Best Male Exotic Dancer 1997" in a nationwide talent search -- and began to appear in print for Colt Studios under the name "Ali".

Since acting in porn he also moved on to modeling work by advertising as a masseur and escort. He was briefly detained after the September 11th attacks due to his Iranian background and U.S. residency. Today his now a certified chiropractor in West Hollywood, California. He is a certified Chiropractic Doctor (D.C.) since 2002, holds a Masters Degree in Sports Physiology (M.S.), a (B.S.) in Biology and is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician.
