Rex was born in San Francisco, California, and raised in Alameda,[2] the son of Zoe, an environmental consultant, and Paul, a relationship coach.[3] He is Jewish.[4]
Rex was an only child who grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area.[5] Rex's father was a breath-work coach (in the tradition of alternative psychologist Stanislav Grof) who walked out on him when he was little. At age 18, he was attending community college and working at a potato-sack factory when he began dating and living with a model in Oakland.[6]
Career
Early work in porn and on MTV (1993–1998)
In 1993, aged 19, Rex responded to an advertisement in a Los Angeles magazine and agreed to be photographed nude for photographer Brad Posey and his Club 1821 studio. The following year, under the alias "Sebastian", he appeared in solo masturbation scenes for three gay Club 1821 pornographic films: Young, Hard & Solo #2, Young, Hard & Solo #3, and Hot Sessions III. Archive footage of Rex was also used in the 2000 films Hot Sessions 11 and Hot Sessions 12.[7][8][9]
One day, while Rex was driving his girlfriend to a casting audition and also watching her child as she prepared to audition, a casting director spotted him sitting in the waiting room and the next day he was on a flight to Milan to work as a model.[6] In 1994, Rex went on a modeling tour for Tommy Hilfiger, before going on to appear in mainstream modeling gigs for Calvin Klein Inc, Versace, and Levi's.[10][7]
In 1995, MTV hired Rex to work as a VJ and kept him on the air for over two years before he and two other VJs were let go.[11]
Television and film (1999–2017)
In 1999, he was cast in the comedy-drama television series Jack & Jill, which aired on The WB channel for two seasons. He appeared as Eli in the TV show Felicity and television guest appearances followed including Baywatch, Everwood, and Summerland.[12][13]
Rex entered the music industry in 2005 as a rap artist after becoming friends with and discovering Mickey Avalon.[18] Rex adopted his alter ego Dirt Nasty[19] and formed the rap group Dyslexic Speedreaders with Avalon & Andre Legacy. Rex both produced and was featured on the group's hit song "My Dick".[20] Again the group paired with Lil Jon to create the song "What Do You Say" which was featured in 2009's blockbuster comedy film, The Hangover.[21]
Rex was an investor in the New York City nightclub The Plumm with partners Noel Ashman, Samantha Ronson, Chris Noth, and others. It opened in 2006 and closed in 2009.[22]
In 2007, Dirt Nasty released his self-titled debut album which included the songs 1980, Cracker Ass Fantastic & Dropping Names.[23] His second album, 2011's Nasty as I Wanna Be, featured Ke$ha, LMFAO, Too Short, and Warren G.[24][25] Rex's other musical projects under his Dirt Nasty alias include his third album Palatial, and the supergroupThree Loco which features Andy Milonakis and Riff Raff. As Three Loco, the group teamed up with producer Diplo and released the group's eight-song EP on Diplo's Mad Decent label.[26]
Dirt Nasty appeared in Season 1, episode 5 of Paris Hilton's My New BFF where the girls had to play "Seven Minutes in Heaven" with him.
Film resurgence (2021–present)
In 2020, Rex, stuck in a floundering music endeavor with film opportunities long since dried up, received a call from director Sean Baker straight up offering him the lead role in Red Rocket.[27][28] Rex stated: "Sean Baker gave me a shot when nobody else would ... I didn’t really work for over a decade. And I think Sean wanted to prove to people that he could show someone like me could do it."[29] The film premiered in competition for the Palme d'Or at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival and the film - and particularly Rex's performance - received overwhelmingly positive reviews.[30][31] The film was considered a serious acting career breakthrough for Rex and his comeback in the industry.[29]
In late 2023, Rex co-founded a re-launched men's skincare brand out of Colorado known as MOX.[36][37] As the face of the brand, he regularly promotes MOX products on his social media and during interviews.[38][39]
Personal life
In his late 40s, Rex reconnected with his father. They shared a "psychedelic experience" during which Rex learned his grandfather was a "spiritual leader" who was "not always the most faithful member of his flock."[6]
