Bobby Rinaldi, 1955-2013

CHATSWORTH, Calif.—Industry veteran Bobby Rinaldi, perhaps best known for directing the wildly popular Screw My Wife Please!! series from Wildlife Productions, where he also served as production manager for many years, passed away in his sleep Friday night, according to reports from close friends Saturday afternoon via social media sites Twitter and Facebook. Rinaldi got his start in the business in the late '90s as president of Tight Ends Productions, Wildlife's original incarnation and the birthplace of the Screw My Wife Please!! series. Aside from that flagship franchise, he directed many others including Girls Home Alone, Pussy Playhouse, Handjobs and Dirty Newcummers. In recent years, Rinaldi branched out into the sexual enhancement sector of the industry as co-owner of Narra Distributors, the company behind Nite Rider and G-Spark arousal pills for men and women. Rinaldi was representing Nite Rider at the 2013 AVN Adult Entertainment Expo, where he spoke to AVN senior editor Mark Kernes about his experiences attenting the convention over the years.
