Biography

Lane Vincent Rogers (August 14, 1994 – December 15, 2025), known professionally as Blake Mitchell and later as Lane V Rogers, was an American gay pornographic actor, model, and social media personality. From the challenges that came with being a bisexual teenager in a conservative small town in Kentucky, Rogers found a meteoric rise to fame after he signed with Helix Studios in late 2014, adopting the stage name Blake Mitchell. He would soon garner a number of industry awards, including from the GayVN Awards and Grabby Awards. Rogers's early life was the subject of a autobiographical novel called His Own Way Out, written by Taylor Saracen, for which Rogers embarked on a national book tour. In 2019, Rogers partially retired his Blake Mitchell persona, choosing to go by his given name of Lane V Rogers in public and on social media. Rogers continued to achieve success and became a beloved figure in the LGBTQ community due to his authenticity and continued social media presence, as well as being an outspoken advocate against biphobia. Rogers died at the age of 31 in a motorcycle collision in Oxnard Plain, California on December 15, 2025.
