Who are the best porn actors?

I'm not talking about the sex part... but how about the scripted parts of the scene. which porn actors (male and/or female) are actually good actors that you think could make it in non-porn movies (and yes, I do realize that there are non-porn actors that are pretty bad actors also). I was trying to think of some that haven't been in non-porn movies already ala Sasha Grey (The Girlfriend Experience).

Just throwing it out there...

He may not look as sexy anymore and I am not sure if he is still starring in porn movies, but Colt Steel was/is such a babe!

He was in a few movies in the 80s and had the sexiest mane.

Zara White. Really not much else to add. Loved every scene she ever made. My first time I jacked off, I thought I'd invented it. I looked down at my sloppy handful of junk and thought, This is going to make me rich. - Chuck Palahniuk

I'd say almost any performer from the 70's and early 80's needed a certain level of acting talent because so many of the movies in those decades was scenario driven. Just take a look at Annette Haven in Barbara Broadcast or Veronica Hart in Amanda by Night for examples. If we look at those from the mid 80's and late 90's than two names come to mind. You have Ginger Lynn and Tracy Lord. Both women went on to appear in multiple mainstream projects.

In the 90's you had Ashlyn Gere who was able to parlay her acting talent from porn roles into some mainstream TV roles on shows like X Files, Space Above and Beyond and Millenium.

In more recent times I would say that Sasha grey is an obvious name but look at Dana Dearmond and India Summer as well. Long live the Brown Coats.

Let me preface this statement by saying that sometimes I wonder when I hear someone acting in a different language than the one that I normally speak if they're actually good at acting or not. Hell, let's face it - someone can even be speaking English with a British accent and I am more prone to buy whatever they're selling...

At any rate, I mention that, because I absolutely love some of the scenes on the PornDoe Premium network. And specifically I mean the ones in French, because that's the only language that I really speak other than English - I mean enough to follow their plotlines. The scenarios are perhaps a bit camp at times, but even if they're slightly OTT that only helps to add a lighthearted element to the action, which I thoroughly enjoy. I much prefer it to porn that takes itself to seriously.

Like in one scene when a woman feels ignored by her businessman husband, she pulls of his shirts out of the laundry hamper and kisses the collar after applying a thick layer of lipstick. She then goes back into the other room where he's meeting a potential investor to confront him over his "cheating" used the shirt as proof. The whole thing is truly high drama and, of course, it ends in a threesome with the husband and his new business partner.

Most porn acting is laughably bad. I think there were more porn actors in the 70's that had actual acting skills than now, when gonzo is so predominate. John Leslie & Jamie Gillis certainly had credible acting skills. In the 90's, Kris Kramski was doing some very dark porn that required real acting skills in movies like "Models". Those actors and actresses all rose to the challenge. Sharon Mitchell's last on-screen work was in 1998 for Wicked Pictures - she had a dom scene with Stephanie Swift and was mind-blowingly good as a corrupt strip club owner.

There may be some good acting work being done in the current era. I don't tend to watch the movies that get noted in AVN awards for best feature or talked about for their acting, because when it comes to porn, that's not at all what I'm looking for.

^I didn't mention any of the males but your two suggestions are excellent examples. You can add Richard Bolla, Ron Jeremy, George payne, Eric Edwards and Joey Silvera to name a few.

The only AVN awards that may be worth paying attention are the ones that are pre-2000 and maybe even as far back as late 80's to early 90's. At some point it stopped being a true award recognizing the talent of the performers and more a marketing tool for the owners of AVN. Long live the Brown Coats.

MARILYN CHAMBERS.
SHE WAS A PORN ACTRESS.
TRIED TO MAKE IT IN NON-PORN MOVIES, BUT HAD LITTLE LUCK.
I THOUGHT SHE WAS FINE IN RABID, A NON-PORN HORROR MOVIE BY DAVID CRONENBERG WHO WENT ON TO MAINSTREAM SUCCESS WITH THE FLY AND EASTERN PROMISES.

^I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS QUITE GOOD IN RABID AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THE FACT THAT SHE DID PORN FIRST. I THINK SHE MIGHT HAVE HAD A FAILRY DECENT CAREER IN MAINSTREAM MEDIA. SHE CERTAINLY HAD THE LOOK, THE DRIVE AND THE ACTING CHOPS TO MAKE A GOOD RUN. OF COURSE SINCE SHE WAS PRIMARILY A PERFORMER OF THE 70'S AND 80'S THAN MY ORIGINAL STATEMENT THAT MOST PERFORMERS OF THAT ERA NEEDED TO HAVE A CERTAIN LEVEL OF ACTING TALENT TO DO PORN STILL MAKES SENSE. Long live the Brown Coats.

Annette Haven is the best I've ever seen. The performers of today just mouth the words and are only filling the time until the next sex scene. Warning Will Robinson

I vote for Riley Reid.

I've forgotten what the question is, but that doesn't matter. The answer is still Riley Reid.
