That phrase got 0 hits from a search so I'm starting a thread.
Who are the best actors and actresses in porn? I'm talking about non-sex here, not sex, but I'm talking about performers who do sex, not non-sex-only performers, or lez-only performers.
I always FF through the non-sex stuff so I don't even know if there are "real" performers who can pull off decent acting.

There are several good actresses that came out of the New York scene in the late 70s and early 80s. Samantha Fox, of course. But also Veronica Hart, Kelly Nichols and Merle Michaels exhibited acting flair.
A lot of the modern day girls also have it; they're just not asked to put it into the service of their performances very often. Crying shame, if you ask me.

Since I've already admitted that I FF past non-sex scenes, this sounds like ass-hattery but I have to agree. It's a shame if there's actual acting talent out there that isn't being used.
I think feature makers interested in actually fusing filmmaking and porn should ditch the "blockbuster" thing. Why waste money on effects and sets when you can't even get the acting right? When you're training an actor, do you spend your efforts on elaborate sets, or do you concentrate on getting the acting right?
Not that there are any such feature makers, just saying.

Best porn actor? - Randy Spears. That guy can play anything.

That's funny. The small amount of viewing of non-sex scenes I've done would've made me say the same thing. He always struck me as a guy who could do a bit of real acting, say commercials or bit parts on TV shows. He could definitely out-act a lot of "reality TV" "actors."
Evan Stone doesn't strike me as a good actor, but such a total ham that he can turn in decent performances.

Penny Flame is a good one. I've never seen her act but she seems like she's sharp in a weird, funny kind of way that probably overlaps with acting. Social IQ or something. Not saying she's actually smart or not because I have no real idea.
More girls! No sausage fests. :)

Perhaps you should have entitled your thread "Best Actresses"...

Hey, I gotta do my part for PC. Don't they call actresses "actors" now?
I didn't want to restrict it to either sex, but I think there are a lot more females in the business than males so it stands to reason they'll be better represented. All replies are appreciated. :)

pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world

John Leslie, James Gillis and Eric Edwards are my favourite actors from the 'classic' period. Kelly Nichols, Georgina Spelvin, Samantha Fox, Veronica Hart were all good as well.
Modern-wise I'd say Eva Angelina and Hilary Scott's performances in Eli Cross' ambitious features were surprisingly good.
Some performers who haven't done many (or any) features but who I suspect are 'naturals' are Sandra Romain, Nautica Thorn, Gianna Michaels and Annette Schwarz. All of their sex scenes are an interesting combination of the theatrical and believable.

I agree whole-heartedly about Sandra Romain. She's been at the top of my list of people I want to get in a major role for some time now. Sandra had a small supporting role in Upload that was a lucky accident.
The part was originally supposed to be played by Trinity Post (who is also an excellent, very natural actor), but Trinity got sick and Sandra was a last-minute replacement. Sandra was very nervous about the two pages of dialogue, but showed up with her lines solidly memorized and gave me an extremely natural, fantastic performance.
Luckily for me, I've been in touch with her about playing the villain in Daughter of the Wolf, a sword-and-sorcery epic I'm shooting for SexZ in Budapest in April, so I might finally get to use Sandra in a role that's worthy of her.

^ Sandra is special. She turned out an excellent performance in Upload. I positively loved it when, in "No One Gets Out of Here Alive," she, in response to Eva's declaration that Sandra could do whatever she wanted with her, said "All of this, and it's not even my birthday!"
I heard Sandra being interviewed once. She comes across as a very intelligent, very together lady.
And I am happy to see Eli confirming what I had long felt about Trinity Post. I adore Trinity. She, like Sandra (and Kylie, and Aiden, and Adrianna and Lorelei, and Mel, and Dia Zerva) wins you over with her face. I always got the feeling that she is a real trooper. Wasn't she also part of the crew for Corruption and/or Upload?
