Born in Philadelphia on December 21, 1978, Charles Dera now resides in Orange County, California. Reputed for his performances in numerous adult films, he famously participated in the 'Men of Strip' burlesque ensemble as 'The Veteran'. Dera journeyed into the industry via a modeling career, saying, "I had the chance to engage in intimate acts and I embraced it wholeheartedly, never turning back."
Previously battling with authority during his teenage years and claiming to hold "little interest in sexuality", Dera had his first sexual experience at 18. He admits, "I was reluctant to enter the USMC without having experienced that aspect of life then."
Despite his on-screen escapades, in his personal life, Dera describes himself as relatively conventional sexually, citing intimate encounters with an armed African as his most adventurous non-sexual episodes.
When picturing being stranded on an undiscovered shore, Dera envisions traveling light, elaborating that excess baggage would hold him back, valuing a minimalist approach in such scenarios.
Uninterested in horror genres, Dera currently opts for comedies, singling out Training Day as a cherished film. With his engrossments off-camera revolving around Jujitsu, bespoke Harley cycles, and snowboarding, the undone actor underscores that he has evaded legal entanglements, attributing it to mindset.
Interestingly, Dera confesses that his paramount dread is falling into banal predictability, showing disdain for mediocrity.
