It may have been through his drug use, unprotected sex, or a combination thereof, that he contracted AIDS.ĭavid Alan Reis died from complications of AIDS in San Jose, California, on May 26, 1991, only a few weeks before his former co-star Leo died from head injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident in Los Angeles.
He is said to have grown up in foster homes, had numerous brushes with the law, and been an IV-drug user. Scant information exists about Lance's life off the screen, and most of that is far from pleasant. The two also often worked together as male prostitutes. He was most well-known for his pairings with Leo Ford in Leo & Lance and Blonds Do It Best, both directed by William Higgins.
He was born David Alan Reis in Santa Barbara County, California (some sources say Oklahoma), on November 25, 1962. Lance was one of the more popular gay porn stars during the 1980s.
