Tera Wray (born 14 April[1][2] in Louisville, Kentucky) is a retired pornographic actress.[3] Her stage name is derived from her real first name, Tera, and her best friend's middle name, Wray.[4]

She has said “I’ve wanted to do porn since I was in the fourth grade. I would always tell people that I wanted to be a porn star."[5] Her first job was as an umpire for a youth softball league.[6] When she was 17, she had ovarian cancer, which was able to be removed by lasers and without chemotherapy.[4]

While working as a Hooters Girl, she applied to be an erotic actress with the film company Pleasure Productions, through contacts at her local adult store.[6] In summer 2006, the company signed her as their first contract performer in two years.[7] Her first scene was with Lee Stone in Naughty Auditions, the second of her films to be released. Her first film released was Sweet Smokin' Hotties, on 8 March 2007. Her first lesbian scene was with Nicki Hunter.[1][6]

Wray often appears in movies of the alt-porn genre, and in the summer 2007 film Tattooed & Tight, she probably became the first person to perform a hardcore sex act on film while their partner received a tattoo.[8][9]

She is a fan of heavy metal music, and hosted Matt Zane's[10] adult-oriented music series, Radium, during which she interviewed bands and attended concerts, as well as performing in sex scenes.[11][12]

Later, she travelled with Ozzy Osbourne's Ozzfest Summer Tour 2007 (as a model for the tour's sponsors, Hustler Lingerie[7]). During the tour, she began dating Static-X frontman Wayne Static,[12][13][14] and on 10 January 2008 the couple married in Las Vegas.[15][16][17] She announced her retirement from the industry in August 2008.[18]

Wray is a keen snowboarder, but once suffered a compound fracture of her arm during a downhill run.[19]

In 2009, Static-X released their sixth studio album, Cult of Static. This album features two tracks entitled "Tera-Fied", followed by "Stingwray", which is a reference to Tera's stage name, as well as the latter song being a reference to her Corvette Stingray. She also appeared in the music video for Stingwray.
