Porn and acting career

Devon's first foray into the adult film industry came in 1998, when she appeared in the film New Breed.[2] It was immediately after making this movie that she went to the Vivid Entertainment offices and told them she wanted to be a star. They agreed that she had the potential and signed her to an exclusive contract that lasted until August 2001.[3] She also appeared in a photo spread for Stuff, a men's magazine. She was the Penthouse Pet of the month in January 2001.

After her Vivid contract, Devon signed with Digital Playground.[4] In 2004 Devon appeared in the first WMV-HD DVD porn movie ever made, Island Fever 3, filmed on Tahiti and Bora Bora.[5] Devon has performed with over thirty male stars and her first and only anal scene was in 2005's Intoxicated.[6]

On July 31, 2005 she appeared in the HBO series, Entourage, appearing as herself in the Entourage episode "I Love You Too." The same year, she co-starred in the porn film Pirates. Devon has also appeared on MTV's Pimp My Ride.

Devon left Digital Playground in September 2005. By January 2006, she signed with a new company, Ecstasy Mobile.[7] In March 2006, she signed with Black Kat Productions[8] and then formed her own production company.[9] In October 2006, she signed a contract with Shane's World to appear in films and direct film scenes for the company.[2] She made her directorial debut for Shane's World in April 2007 with the title, Devon Does Baja.[10]
