Acting

Byron first started acting in hardcore films in May 1982, and continued to perform mostly in roles portraying the young schoolboy or "coming of age" scenarios, as he resembled a teenager even though he was in his early to mid 20s. He starred alongside the underage Traci Lords in many films including her porn debut in early 1984, What Gets Me Hot!. He was also said to have had an ongoing off-screen relationship with Lords, though he later downplayed their relationship.

He has changed his image several times throughout his career, frequently portraying a clean-shaven, adolescent virgin in his early years in porn. His late 1980s long-haired hard rock persona was no pretense, as Byron was at that time moonlighting as a struggling hard rock musician in Los Angeles with hopes of a legitimate career in music. By the early 1990s, Byron again changed his image and appearance to that of a clean cut "businessman" type.

In August 2002, Byron announced his retirement from performing to focus on his directing career, but in the fall of 2005, after just three years, he returned to performing in numerous scenes, most notably his House of Ass series for his own company Evolution Erotica.

In February 2007, Byron founded Tom Byron Pictures. In December 2012, Byron announced that he was no longer part of the company and was forming a new company Tom Byron Company

As of 2013, Byron still performs in films and works as an independent producer and social media marketer.

His earliest video that can be dated with certainty is Anything Goes from 1982.
