Here’s a bit of advice: If you want to be an actor, actress, singer, accountant, dog walker, whatever — take whatever work you can find unless it’s porn. Look, if you want to do porn, that’s fine. Go do some porn, have fun. If that’s the life you want to live, or if you need the money, whatever, it’s your life. There’s no judgment here. Maybe you enjoy acting in porn movies or just really love having sex. That’s cool, do porn if doing porn is what you want to do. Just don’t expect to do porn until something better comes along. That pretty much doesn’t happen. The majority of porn actors that try to break out of porn never really succeed. They may find a role or two that they don’t have to hide from their parents, but typically they never break free from the porn star stigma. However, there are a few examples that contradict this whole argument.
