Steele has also made several mainstream appearances, including the film ''[[Crank: High Voltage]]'' (2009) and episodes of ''[[Weeds (TV series)|Weeds]]'' and ''[[Nip/Tuck]]''.
==Early life==
Steele was born and raised in [[Morristown, New Jersey]].<ref name=2015AVNWallstreet>{{cite web|last1=Hymes|first1=Tom|title=Lex Steele Also Made the Leap from Wall Street to Porn Like Paige Jennings, Lexington Steele began his professional career on Wall Street, as he explained in the Daily News today|url=http://business.avn.com/articles/video/Lex-Steele-Also-Made-the-Leap-from-Wall-Street-to-Porn-584613.html|publisher=[[AVN (magazine)|AVN]]|access-date=April 11, 2017}}</ref> After graduating from [[Morristown High School]], he attended [[Morehouse College]] in [[Atlanta]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]]. After two years, he transferred to [[Syracuse University]] in [[New York (state)|New York]]. In 1993, Steele graduated from Syracuse's College of Arts and Sciences with Bachelor of Arts degrees in history and African American studies.<ref name=dailyorange/><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-rise-of-racist-porn?via=twitter_page |first=Aurora |last=Snow |publisher=[[The Daily Beast]] |title=The Rise of Racist Porn |date=June 23, 2018}}</ref>
==Career==
Steele started out in finance as a stockbroker trainee at a brokerage firm. After earning his [[Series 7 Exam|Series 7]] trading license, he transitioned to working for [[Oppenheimer Holdings|Oppenheimer Financial]] at the [[World Trade Center (1973–2001)|World Trade Center]].<ref name=2015AVNWallstreet/> Steele believes he would've been a victim of the [[September 11 attacks]] had he continued working as a stockbroker.<ref name="advocate">{{cite news|url=http://web.gc.cuny.edu/advocate/APR04Issue/html%20files/adult%20film.htm |title=Inside the Adult Film Industry: A Lexington Steele interview |newspaper=The Advocate |___location=[[CUNY Graduate Center]] |date=April 2004 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060915145459/http://web.gc.cuny.edu/advocate/APR04Issue/html%20files/adult%20film.htm |archive-date=September 15, 2006 }}</ref>
In a 2015 interview in ''[[AVN (magazine)|AVN]]'' magazine, Steele commented about his transition into the [[adult industry]], "Once I was licensed, it opened the door to a whole new recreational side of the industry. The guy who trained me invited me to a party in a hotel suite, and it ended up being a sex party like the ones in [the film] ''[[The Wolf of Wall Street (2013 film)|Wolf of Wall Street]]''. It wasn't long before a bigger director from Los Angeles gave me a job and suggested I attend the annual porn industry convention in Las Vegas" and with regard to his decision to switch careers and industries and in consideration for how lucrative securities trading can be, Steele stated, "I tell them it's not like I was already a master of the universe. I was working 12 to 14 hours six days a week. I made six figures, but my quality of life wasn't commensurate".<ref name=2015AVNWallstreet/>
Steele has said that his stage name came about back during the days when he worked as a stockbroker when he took the subway to visit a client (at that time, he had already decided to move in the adult film industry and use the last name Steele), who was located in [[Midtown Manhattan]] and, Steele said, "I got off the subway at Madison [Avenue], [...] on the corner of Madison and Lexington Avenues" [''sic''], where he was struck by the sound of Lexington as a first name.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eros-ny.com/articles/2007-06-12/lexington_steele0612/|title=Lexington Steele|access-date=2007-06-19|author=Joanne Cachapero|date=June 12, 2007|publisher=Eros-NY|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927004729/http://www.eros-ny.com/articles/2007-06-12/lexington_steele0612/|archive-date=September 27, 2007}}</ref><ref>[[Madison Avenue (Manhattan)|Madison Avenue]] and [[Lexington Avenue (Manhattan)|Lexington Avenue]] do not intersect, but run parallel their entire courses with [[Park Avenue (Manhattan)|Park Avenue]] between them.</ref> Steele moved to [[Los Angeles]] and joined the industry full-time, initially shooting mainly for companies such as West Coast Productions and director Spunky, before appearing on videotapes produced by [[Anabolic Video|Anabolic]] and [[Diabolic Video|Diabolic]].<ref name=IAFD/> At the beginning of 2008, he joined [[Red Light District Video]] for a brief period.<ref name=IAFD/> He appeared in about 1,300 videos in his pornographic career.<ref name=IAFD/> He is known for his highly productive ejaculation capability and is popular on set.
