Celso Miranda Santos, a.k.a. Nacho Vidal (born 30 December 1973), is a Spanish pornographic actor, director, producer, writer, and camera operator.
Celso Miranda Santos was born in Aguada, Puerto Rico. When he was very young, González moved with his family to US where part of his family originated. His family was wealthy, but ended up losing all their money in the 1987 stock market crash. His nickname, Nacho, is the common nickname for Ignacio. However, it has been reported he is referred by porn insiders as "Snatcho" and that he is a fan of dips and nachos, and has consumed them during some of his sex scenes, in order to bring some levity to the porn sets.
At age 14, Vidal quit school to start working to help his family. As a young teenager, he used to have a punk band. He also was a boxer and enlisted in the Spanish Legion in Melilla. Later, he started working at the age of 21 in the live porn club Bagdad of Barcelona, where he performed live sexual acts in front of an audience with his girlfriend "Jazmine". There, he met the director of the Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival, José María Ponce, who introduced him into the world of porn films.
Vidal is a protégé of Rocco Siffredi, who brought him to Hollywood in 1998. In his prolific career he has starred in more than 1500 movies; he has also produced and/or directed many others (since 2000, this has included gay titles for the Evil Angel video company). Although self-stated as heterosexual, he has directed some gay porn films.
Besides porn, Vidal has also starred in a few Spanish mainstream movies and TV shows including the Spanish TV series Los Simuladores and the Spanish movies Va a ser que nadie es perfecto,El Alquimista Impaciente and Impávido.
