Born in Pennsylvania in 1972, Greg Grove auditioned for the Ringling Brothers Clown College before choosing to pursue work as a personal trainer.

Fascinated by superheroes, Greg created an alter-ego of his own in Matthew Rush, the hyper-muscular gay porn superstar who signed a lifetime contract with Falcon Studios. He has starred in numerous titles including Bootstrap, Cross Country and The Velvet Mafia.

Recently, Matthew Rush has appeared in a couple of non-porn features, playing Dik Steele in Third Man Out and go-go dancer Ryder in Another Gay Movie.

Currently based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, he spoke with Mark Adnum via email in June 2007.

MARK ADNUM: How do you imagine your life today, Greg, if you'd followed your teenage dream of being a professional circus clown?

MATTHEW RUSH (GREG GROVE): I don't think it would be quite as exciting. To anyone who knows me personally, I'm a big clown anyway. Now, I get to be a "Gay Erotic Video Personality" with a sense of humor! What could be better than that?

Have you ever used a Matthew Rush Supercock dildo?

If I wasn't so busy typing out these answers, I'd slap you. Ewww! I've never used it and never will.

Have you encountered racism in the gay porn industry? How do you think your career would have panned out if you were more-than-half black?

I was told that Black Inches wouldn't print a layout of me because I wasn't black enough. That is the only time that I've ever been discriminated against. Being biracial has definitely been a big help because I'm not the typical blond haired, blue eyed boy next door.

What do your parents think about your career?

Shh! They don't know about it.

Do you ever get lonely? Do you consider yourself famous?

Do I ever get lonely? Not as long as I have my right hand! I think to be famous, you have to be known by more than ten percent of the population.

What would you change about your appearance? What cosmetic surgery would you have?

I think a persons imperfections make them sexy so I wouldn't change anything about my appearance with cosmetic surgery.

Have you ever dressed up as Wonder Woman?

No, but I have still have a strong desire to run around in satin tights and fight for your rights.
