Sean Paul Lockhart was born October 31, 1986 (yup, he's a Samhain Beauty!) in Lewiston, United States. His first boyfriend introduced him , then 17 years old, into the gay pornographic industry when he was 17 years old, a time when Brent didn't have money nor prospects. This boyfriend arranged an audition for him from his own bedroom via webcam and controlled the camera while the director and owner of Cobra Video observed. During that time, he used the names Brent Corrigan and Fox Ryder and worked with Cobra Video and Pink Bird Media.
In September 2005, Brent made public that he was under 18 when he made his first films, being below the legal age of consent to appear in pornography. His first four films were pulled voluntarily from circulation by Cobra Video through their distributor, Pacific Sun Entertainment.
In an interview with Gay Monkey Magazine in 2006, after he launched his own production company, he claimed to be the youngest producer in the history of gay porn and aid that "porn can be a bad business; but not my company. Since I know what it's like, I treat models right. I treat my models with the utmost respect from beginning to end." Although he was known as the bareback king, that changed and he started using condoms and so the actors of his movies.
In 2007, Bryan Kocis the owner of Cobra Video, was found dead at his home on January 24. Two Virginia Beach male escorts, Harlow Cuadra and Joseph Kerekes, were arrested and charged with Kocis' murder. Brent testified for the prosecution, and said they wanted to destroy the competition and to make a "million-dollar" film starring Brent. He cooperated with authorities, helped them find the suspects and testified in the Cuadra trial. All this episode inspired the film 2016 film King Cobra (), for which Brent criticized the filmmakers for "bastardising" his life to present an inaccurate portrayal of the murder and of his time in pornography.
In 2010, Brent left pornography to focus almost exclusively on gay-themed movies and indie films, such as Judas Kiss, Sister Mary, Another Gay Sequel: Gays Gone Wild!, among others, and directed the 2013 mystery-thriller Triple Crossed. He returned to gay pornography in 2016 with Falcon Studios' Deep Release and is currently riting a memoir, which we are impatiently waiting for!
