On a post below I wrote about how I was influenced to write screenplays by Steven Soderbergh after watching his masterpiece Solaris. “Anywho” the man is fucking magic, do you understand? He literally has the goddamn Midas touch.

Sasha Grey caught Soderbergh’s eye and in 2008 she was cast in: “The Girlfriend Experience” directed [But NOT written] by Steven Soderbergh catapulting her in Hollywood legitimacy, something rarely accomplished by porn actresses. Unfortunately Grey is still playing a sex worker. So keep that in mind daughter of Lawrence Fishburn, your missed the boat.

Here is Sasha Grey in an episode from last season’s Entourage, the HBO series where she played Vincent Chase’s girlfriend. Here’s  the thing: It’s not been that easy for Grey to transfer to legitimate acting from pornography.  As you see in this episode, even though Soderbergh decided to give her an opportunity she still hasn’t escaped the “porn star” stigma.Even though actors often use the “casting couch” to advance their acting careers. It is still frowned jupon in Hollywood to blatantly engage in real sex onscreen.
