Early Life
Brent Corrigan was born on October 31, 1986, in Lewiston, Idaho, and raised in Mill Creek, Washington, along with his three siblings. After his mother divorced his stepfather, Corrigan moved to San Diego, California, in 2003. During his high school years, he was involved with an older boyfriend who introduced him to the adult film industry by sending his nude photos to Cobra Video. Underage at the time, Corrigan faked his ID to work for the company, leading to a controversial start in his career. He later revealed this, resulting in the banning of the films he made underage and legal disputes with Cobra Video's founder, Bryan Kocis.

His 2008 film "Summit" won a GayVN Award for Best Pro/Am Film, and he later earned a GayVN Award for Web Performer of the Year in 2010. Corrigan also transitioned to mainstream cinema, playing a role in the 2008 film "Milk," which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Picture.

He returned to adult films in 2016 and has since been an advocate for safer sex in the pornography industry, using his platform to educate about responsible and respectful filming practices.

Personal Life
In January 2007, Brent's ex-boyfriend Bryan Kocis was murdered. Male escorts Joseph Kerekes and Harlow Cuadra were charged with his murder and sentenced to life imprisonment without parole. The motive behind the murder was linked to a desire to eliminate competition and produce a high-grossing film with Corrigan. Brent assisted law enforcement in the case and testified in court. The 2016 film "King Cobra" is based on this incident, with Garrett Clayton portraying Corrigan and Christian Slater playing Kocis.
