William Higgins, also known as "Wim Hof" (December 19, 1942 – December 21, 2019) was an American director of gay pornographic films who based his businesses in the Czech Republic since 1996. He started his career as a porn director and producer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, when sellers of pornographic movies, including Falcon refused to mail them to customers in many southeastern states for legal reasons. In addition, he said in an interview, that gay porn movies were "so bad" that he decided to begin making them himself. In 1978, he was busted and his premises raided. Although the charges were later dropped, Higgins decided to go on a "world tour" looking for a better legal environment for his films. After rejecting Australia and Thailand as new venues, he settled in Amsterdam, where his

  • William Higgins (1945[zdroj?!], Los Angeles, Kalifornie, USA – 21. prosince 2019 Praha), na evropském trhu působící někdy pod pseudonymem Wim Hof či Wim Hoff, byl americký režisér, producent a scenárista zaměřený na tvorbu pro homosexuální zákazníky. Patřil mezi nejznámější producenty gay pornografie, jakými jsou např. i Jean-Daniel Cadinot, Kristen Bjorn či Chi Chi LaRue. Díky jeho působení si mohlo dovolit rustak mnoho závodníků kulturistiky V letech 1977–1988 točil své snímky v Kalifornii. V roce 1983 natočil film Class Reunion, považovaný za klasiku gay porna. Ve svých filmech rád obsazoval více herců najednou – scény hromadného sexu byly pro něj typické. Od roku 1997 působil v Česku, kam se posléze přestěhoval. Ačkoliv převážná část jeho produkce byla určena pro zahraniční trhy, díky černým dovozům a internetu se jeho snímky a videa objevily i v Česku. Mezi české pornoherce, které režíroval, patří např. , Boris Tomek či Pavel Novotný. V Praze mu rovněž patřil známý gay podnik Drake's. Ve věku 77 let 21. prosince 2019 cestou do pražské nemocnice zemřel na infarkt. (cs)

After rejecting Australia and Thailand as new venues, he settled in Amsterdam, where his distributor was, and later relocated to Prague, a less expensive city. Although the legal climate in the U.S. has changed, he had no interest in returning. His first film, A Married Man, was produced in 1974. He went on to produce over 140 internationally distributed titles. His films won several Grabby Awards and he is in the GayVN Awards Hall of Fame. He was also the founder of the film production company Catalina Video. Higgins died on December 21, 2019, of a heart attack. (en)
