Wilbur James Weiss Jr. aka Scorpio (November 1, 1952 — December 24, 1998) was a gay adult film performer who died of AIDS in Pensacola, Florida. He was 46 years old.
Born Trenton, New Jersey, Weiss was the oldest in a family of four children, and grew up in a country trailer park. He left home at 18 and worked in a factory in Washington, D.C. as well as sales in Miami, skated in a roller derby in Philadelphia and tried modeling in New York before deciding to become a male stripper.
Weiss first started stripping in straight clubs in New Jersey prior to dancing in gay bars and branching out to pose for magazine shoots. He did dancing gigs in such places as Long Island, New York City, and Connecticut. His "proud mother" Mildred made his stripping costumes and turned up at gay clubs to see him strip.
Weiss eventually moved to New York and answered an ad in Topman magazine stating "Models Wanted." Through said ad, he met the team behind the adult production company Hand in Hand Films and subsequently went on to appear in a handful of gay porn movies.
Weiss quit doing gay porn in the mid-1980's and initially moved to Miami to work in an adult bookstore before settling down in Pensacola as a hairstylist.
Wilbur died at age 46 of stomach cancer and complications from AIDS on December 24, 1998 at his home in Pensacola.
