Payne entered the porn industry in 1972 with the gay movie The Back Row[3] after coming to New York to do male swimsuit modeling[4] and initially marketed himself towards a gay audience.[2] He also starred in the infamous Centurians of Rome.[5]

He transitioned over to the straight side of the industry eventually and gained notoriety for his intense portrayal of psychopaths in several Avon 'roughie' films.[3][6] He retired from hardcore porn in 1988, but made appearances non-sexual BDSM roles until 1997 before leaving the industry entirely.[3]

In 2019, he made his mainstream acting debut in director Nicolas Winding Refn's television series Too Old to Die Young.
