Biografia Joey Silvera lavora nell'industria del porno USA sin dai primi anni settanta. Nativo dello Stato di New York, iniziò la sua carriera di pornoattore a San Francisco nel 1974. La sua professione lo porterà ad apparire in più di 1000 pellicole hard nel corso della sua pluridecennale carriera. Veniva spesso scritturato come spalla del protagonista, dando una certa connotazione umoristica alla sua recitazione, e rimane una delle figure più riconoscibili del mondo dei film a luci rosse. Durante la sua carriera ha lavorato con quasi tutte le più grandi pornostar dell'epoca d'oro del Porno, tra le tante si ricordano Ginger Lynn, Annette Haven, Nina Hartley.
Nei primi anni novanta, Silvera iniziò a dirigere i propri film per la sua compagnia All Blew Shirts (successivamente chiamata Joey Silvera Video). I suoi video venivano inizialmente distribuiti dalla Devil's Film, più tardi Silvera si accordò con la Evil Angel di John Stagliano per garantire una migliore distribuzione dei suoi lavori.
Silvera è anche celebre per aver introdotto le donne transgender nel mondo del porno professionale. Sue celebri serie di porno con donne trans sono Service Animals e The Shemale Rogue Adventures.
Inoltre ha una piccola parte parlata nel disco del 2005 del rapper statunitense Necro, The Sexorcist, precisamente nella canzone Whore dove afferma che Necro ha ispirato dei film porno da lui diretti.
Silvera è membro sia della Hall of Fame dell'AVN, di quella della Legends of Erotica e della XRCO Hall of Fame.
