Personal life[]
Vitale was married to fellow porn actor Nikki Tyler from 1996 to 1998.[2] He appeared in scenes with her.[3] They subsequently got divorced, and Vitale later became engaged to Briana Banks in 2003, before they split up in 2006.[4]
Vitale was the victim of a car accident in 2004 that left him with a smashed pelvis, crushed urethra and having to use a wheelchair and a colostomy bag temporarily.[5]
Having retired in the mid 2000s, Vitale ran a body shop in Southern California for several years.[6] He claimed to be ready to make a comeback to the porn industry in 2011, but nothing ever came of this.[7]
