Talented or tainted: Can a porn star go mainstream?

Gerald · 11-23-12, 08:55 AM

Keiran Lee is one of the highest paid British male porn actors in the US.

Quote:

Over the past few weeks, movie buffs have been enjoying the new trailer for a forthcoming Lindsay Lohan film.

The Canyons, a low-budget indie production written by American Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis, and due for release in the new year, has raised eyebrows for two reasons.

Quote:

Aside from the public's continuing fascination with everything Miss Lohan does, the choice of male lead has also caused something of a stir.

The role has gone to James Deen, a well-known adult star who has performed in more than 3,000 porn scenes.

Numerous adult actors have attempted to break into mainstream acting over the past five decades with varying degrees of success.

But does the decision to cast Deen, taken by the film's acclaimed director Paul Schrader - famous for writing the screenplays for Taxi Driver and Raging Bull - represent a shift in attitudes by the mainstream industry?

Derby's Keiran Lee believes so.

An actor in a porn movie isn't really an actor, that's not to say they can't act, just that in porn they don't need to act well. And also I'm not saying that all non-adult actors can act, as clearly some can't very well at all.

I believe Eva Henger has made a few non-adult movies, but she's better in the flesh.

Aw, come on, it was 13 years ago in another country. And she's too young for you, for me just a couple of years between us.

Sibel Kekili whom you might know from Game of Thrones has also done some porn, although not as much that you could call her a porn star. Admittedly it's a small role, and she plays a whore. but she's also a detective in the German "Tatort" crime series, and if I'm not mistaken had the lead in "Gegen die Wand" (Head on).
