Savage was introduced to the adult film industry via the actor R. Bolla in 1976.
Savage appeared in the 1978 classic Debbie Does Dallas, for which he was paid about $150 a day.
The film was a financial success, becoming one of the top five highest grossing adult films of all time.
Some of the other films he appeared in include Expose Me Now, Bodies in Heat, and Rambone Does Hollywood.
He created the stage name "Herschel Savage" with adult actor Jamie Gillis in an attempt to combine a 'nerdy Jewish identity' with that of a stud.
During the mid-1980s, Savage helped to organize sex workers in San Francisco to fight for better wages.
The initiative was ultimately abandoned after production studios threatened to blacklist performers.
He was credited as "Harvey Cowen".
In 1988, Savage was inducted into the XRCO Hall of Fame.

In January 2013, he portrayed pornographic film director Gerard Damiano in the Los Angeles production of The Deep Throat Sex Scandal, a play described as the "theatrical telling of the back story of Deep Throat."
His performance drew positive reviews.
Writing for The Los Angeles Times, Charlotte Stoudt called Savage's portrayal of Damiano "surprisingly cogent".
Myron Meisel from The Hollywood Reporter remarked that he "engenders endearing empathy as the amiably deluded director Damiano."
Steven Leigh Morris from LA Weekly deemed his performance "dramatic comedy terra firma".
Savage credited the play with "renewing [his] love for performing on stage."
Savage appeared as himself in Pretty Filthy, a musical about the adult film industry.
