Mickey Squires

Mickey Squires (born Richard Bernstein; December 21, 1952) is an American adult film actor and model who became a defining icon of the "Castro Clone" and "muscle daddy" aesthetics during the 1970s, 1980s and the early 1990s. As a primary star for the Colt Studio Group, Squires helped transition gay erotic imagery from the lean, mustachioed "clone" look of the post-Stonewall era into the hyper-masculine, bodybuilder-influenced aesthetic of the 1980s.

Early life Born in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, Bernstein was the youngest of three brothers and was raised by a single mother in North Long Beach. He appeared on approximately 20 adult magazine covers, including Mandate and Zipper.

While most careers in the industry were brief, Squires appeared sporadically in videos as late as Butch Bear (2001).
