[edit] Biography
Rex was born Simon Rex Cutright in San Francisco, California. In 1995, MTV kept Rex on the air for over a year after his solo adult video work became known as his fame and popularity increased. After being let go by MTV during an update to its VJ line-up, Simon began to pursue acting and in 1999 was cast in the television show Jack & Jill, which ran for two seasons. He appeared as "Eli" in the TV show Felicity and television guest appearances followed including Baywatch, Everwood, and Summerland). In 2002, the pilot for the show What I Like About You was picked up by The WB which now has become The CW. Rex only starred in the first season. He later appeared on the Lifetime show, Monarch Cove which ran for 11 episodes in 2006.
Rex has appeared in the films The Forsaken, Scary Movie 3, Scary Movie 4 and The Karate Dog. He also starred in National Lampoon's Pledge This! with Paris Hilton, and was romantically involved with her during shooting of the film. In the movie, the two share a sex scene. He also briefly dated Jaime Pressly.
Rex's rapping career is popular on MySpace, as "Dirt Nasty". He tours with his group Dyslexic Speedreaders along with Mickey Avalon and Andre Legacy. Rex is also the co-owner of the semi-private New York nightclub The Plumm, along with Chris Noth, David Wells and Noel Ashman, among others.
