After graduating from college, Dough moved to Los Angeles, where he initially tried breaking into soap operas. However, a photo shoot at Hustler quickly resulted in steady work in the adult industry.

One of his most noteworthy achievements was participating in a gangbang with 101 women, as well as appearing the first DVD published by the adult-magazine publisher Hustler. Dough's first marriage was to Deidre Holland, a pornographic actress, whom he later divorced.[9] He married pornographic actress Monique DeMoan, with whom he had a daughter in August 2002. Dough died on August 27, 2006, in Chatsworth, California of suicide by hanging. He was 43 years old. DeMoan discovered his body in a closet in their home. DeMoan subsequently left the industry and is raising their daughter in an undisclosed location.[citation needed] In a 2012 interview with Louis Theroux, she cited his struggle with a long-term drug addiction and insolvent porn business as a catalyst for his worsening depression and eventual suicide.
