| MEAT BALL Member  I'm not a scumbag, YOU'RE a scumbag. Also, I am. 54 Posts 5/08 |  Posted - Jun 2 2008 : 9:43AMSo, who would you say is the best actor in porn? Male or female, it doesn't matter to me. I'm just wondering who you think could actually pull off a story without any fucking in it? (granted, we'd all prefer to see them fucking regardless, but that's not the question.) Here are my picks for best ACTORS: RANDY SPEARS (easily #1) JESSICA DRAKE BELLADONNA STEVEN ST. CROIX Seriously, if you wanna see Randy's chops, check out my interview with him - this dude is fucking HILARIOUS. (Bree Olson's in the interview, too, and while I don't really think she's a hell of an actress, she sure is awesome at screwin'.)

| TheLoneGunman Member 400 Posts 10/03 | Posted - Jun 2 2008 : 12:15PM Stormy and Jessica Drake are the best female actors. And by "best" I mean consistently good... Randy Spears is probably the only actor I've seen in porn who could have (should have?) been sucessful as a mainstream actor - he's that good. [Link] |

| Tommy Kaye Member 135 Posts 2/07 | Posted - Jun 10 2008 : 10:31AM Kim Chambers and Donita Dunes blew me away with there acting ability. They are so natural on camera. Both have mainstream talent. On the other side of the pond, Dora Venter and Lisa Rose stick out in my mind. They both did a fantastic job of acting for me. TK [Link] |
| Painless Member 436 Posts 5/05 | Posted - Jun 11 2008 : 11:00PM I like Janine, Alicia Rio, Chasey Lain, Asia Carrera, Ashlyn Gere, Nikki Dial, and some other 90s gals... Eva Angelica comes to mind as far as today's actresses go, but i haven't seen her in any features... can anyone recommend? [Link] |

| Eli Cross Member What's the fun of getting old if you can't be dirty? 141 Posts 4/06 | Posted - Jun 13 2008 : 2:49PM That being said, there are some people in the industry right now who love getting to do some real work, and are willing to put in the extra time, effort and energy to commit to a serious project. Hillary, obviously, is an excellent actor. When I read her for Corruption I really wasn't expecting much and she blew us away. Eva and Derrick both busted their asses on Upload and I was really happy with the work they did. There are other performers you wouldn't necessarily think of who have not only the drive, but a very natural quality; We're moving forward with The Blood of Virgins as a strictly mainstream horror film, but I'm keeping Sandra Romain as Elizabeth Bathory because her read was just amazing. Other people I just haven't had a chance to use in anything major yet but who have done really remarkable auditions are Lorelei Lee, Amber Rayne, Roxy DeVille, Kimberly Kane and Trinity Post.

Did you have any success finding distribution outlets for your softcore versions? Back to the thread. I still am surprised that I'm the only one who gave props to Katie Morgan. That chick is a fantastic actress! [Link] |

| Taylor Von Bailey Deactivated User 2116 Posts 8/06 | Posted - Jun 16 2008 : 2:08AM Gina Ryder Jewel Denyle Katin Penny Flame Sophie Dee Taylor St. Claire The best one to me is Taylor. She always was so funny and convincing in her roles. Penny is great too. I tend to watch much more gonzo than feature stuff though so I'm not a real good judge of this of course. [Link] |

| john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Jul 6 2008 : 6:43PM Sure, most people in XXX movies can't act but you can't just deny the acting ability of someone because they work in porn. Again, look no further than the likes of John Leslie! He is an outstanding ACTOR by any standards. [Link] |

| john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Jul 6 2008 : 8:38PM Check out Veronica Hart's (under her real name Jane Hamilton) outstanding performance in Chuck Vincent's R Rated thriller Deranged. Kelly Nichols is great in her small role in The Toolbox Murders. Jerry Butler, Jamie Gillis, and Ron Jeremy have been given a few opportunities to appear in non-X films and have most certainly held their own! [Link] |

He also played Peter in the 1973 film version of Jesus Christ Superstar. Toubus signed with the William Morris Agency and went to Hollywood where he played parts in television shows. [Link] |
| BlackSix All-Star Member pornography wasn't sex but fantasies of an impossibly hospitable world 12377 Posts 9/07 | Posted - Jul 7 2008 : 12:01AM I don't think anyone is saying these actors are De Niro (but then De Niro hasn't been De Niro for decades either), but if you actually watched any of the performances Flash and John Lyons have mentioned with an open mind you would be surprised. But from your responses I doubt you'd be open minded enough to change your view regardless. As already mentioned, several of the actors and actresses mentioned did do legit work as well, it was the fact that they did porn that prevented them from getting other work. They may not have been the next Brando but I think several of them could have had decent, if minor, mainstream careers. Look at the successful careers of shitty actors like Keanu or Ah-nold for christ's sake. [Link] |

| Clam Digger Deactivated User Many a man fails as an original thinker simply because his memory is too good. 2268 Posts 1/05 | Posted - Jul 7 2008 : 12:27AM You don't go from high school to retail to stripping to porn, with hooking as a possible side job & become a good actor. Period. You go from acting school/college. You commit yourself to years of low paying acting jobs. You are either auditioning for new roles and going to more acting classes. Maybe after all that, you get to make enough money to maybe support yourself. And maybe, just maybe, you meet with some success. And to repeat the OP, not one person listed in this thread or any of the other similar threads that have cropped up here at ADT over the years, would ever be able to carry a production if no fucking were involved. Not only is the fanboy set totally clueless to what acting really is, they have little or no reading comprehension. Oh and BTW, when Jerry Butler was last seen he was driving a cab Edited by - Clam Digger on 7/7/2008 12:29:57 AM [Link] |

| Flash Golden Age Classic 11018 Posts 5/01 | Posted - Jul 7 2008 : 1:26AM And when you go enjoy your next 'good movie' you should look up the acting school/college along with the continuing acting education of everyone involved in the cast to make sure they meet your calibur as I suspect you will find the majority of the actors and actresses in it won't meet your standards for acting either and you'll save yourself from having to watch so many people who can't act to your standards.

It was directed by George Abbott and Jerome Robbins and featured choreography by Bob Fosse. The original cast included John Raitt, Janis Paige, Eddie Foy, Jr., Carol Haney, and Stanley Prager.

| john lyons Senior Member Co-founder of Vinegar Syndrome 1188 Posts 1/08 | Posted - Jul 7 2008 : 10:39AM Do actors who work in porn OFTEN GET opportunities to appear in other things? No, no one is denying that, but you can't ignore LEGITIMATE, non X rated low budget films which have featured these people in starring roles. Sure, Steven Spielberg might never have cast Paul Thomas but Norman Jewison sure did! Whether you wanna consider filmmakers like Rugerio Deodatto, Chuck Vincent, and Anthony Spinelli "legitimate" enough to consider the NON PORN films that they made which star porn actors "real movies" is completely your own decision. But you can't ignore them and the fact that they provide ample opportunity to see porn actors ACT, and act well. Again I'll bring up Vincent's Derenaged. Shot like a play, the film is almost non-stop dialogue delivered by the obviously untalented by simple virtue of their professions Veronica hart (who has about 75% of the lines in the film), Jerry Butler, and Jamie Gillis! Or take a look at Anthony Spinelli's It's Called Murder Baby where John Leslie is in the lead role, Lisa De Leeuw is the main actress (and is great as an over the hill movie queen), and both Juliet Anderson and Kelly Nichols co-star! Or less "legit" is Andy Milligan's soap opera Fleshpot on 42ns St. starring Harry Reems in an outstanding performance. Sure, I'm picking specific films to highlight the abilities of these people because there sadly aren't many which do feature porn actors in non-X roles. But based on these few films you can't possibly deny that some, maybe not even many X rated film actors are very talented actors! Until you say that you've seen all three of the above mentioned films and found the performances to be universally terrible, your point is moot.That's because every single "real" actor ever went to acting school and every "real" painter went to art school, and every "real" filmmaker went to film school, and every "real" author has a degree in creative writing. Sure, that's the way it works in the "real" world. [Link] |
