Sasha Grey lands role in Entourage

[Pokermad]

In the ongoing saga of “How bro-tastically awesome can the ‘Entourage’ creators make Vincent Chase’s life,” porn star Sasha Grey has been cast to play Vince’s girlfriend in season 7 of HBO’s alleged “comedy.” TV Guide says:

This is by no means a small cameo, but a major role as the new long-term girlfriend of Adrian Grenier’s Vince Chase.

“I think Sasha’s going to have a very successful transition,” says Entourage creator Doug Ellin, who was impressed by the performer’s leading role in Oscar-winning director Steven Soderbergh’s 2009 film, “The Girlfriend Experience.”

I saw The Girlfriend Experience. And it’s true: Grey was surprisingly good in it. However, according to one person I know who was on the set, that’s because she was completely wooden unless Soderbergh told her precisely every tiny detail of what she needed to do in a scene. And I suspect Doug Ellin is no Soderbergh.

Inspired by Charlie Sheen’s relationship with porn actress Ginger Lynn in the late 90’s at the height of his film career, Ellin believes Sasha’s got all it takes to play the perfect girl for movie star Vince Chase. “You can’t believe she’s a porn star when you meet her,” he says of Sasha, who will meet Vince in a bar in the new season’s fifth episode and stick around for the remainder of the season – possibly returning next year for the show’s eighth and final season. “I think they’re going to have a very interesting relationship.”

Don’t get me wrong: I very much like Sasha Grey. She has an ass like a peach and really ratchets up the filth in her porn scenes. So it’s only natural that Vincent Chase would date her. And Turtle will want to go to a porn set, and Drama will strike out with her friend, and E will get all exasperated before everything turns out perfectly. Another great episode, bro!

This makes Sasha the biggest pornstar to crossover on to the big screen.

I am reminded of Hulk Hogan's transition breakout role with Mr. Mom.

Right? Anyone? Right?

 

[Bearded_Menace]

Wow, and I never thought she'd actually get anywhere close to mainstream.

That's part one of an exchange deal. In return, Betty White will be in the next Jules Jordan film.

I'd prefer Betty White to be in the next:

Not surprising. She is just a very talented girl from what I can see who happens to do hardcore porn.

She will be respected at some point because she's talented.

In this clip..comes across as by farrr the most lucid speaker of all the chicks her. You can actually listen to her and hear something well thought out emerge past her lips.

Her part is about 3:20

Cool.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I actually do remember seeing her on G4. She does seem decent for acting. Maybe.

However, acting is acting, giving a speech is giving a speech. Such as talking casually is talking casually.

It's all different. You have to sell the audience on talent not because you take it up the ass while getting choked by deep throating.

Are you serious? Have you seen her act? It's a painful thing to watch. You're one smitten kitten, man.

I am sure she would have had to do a whole lot of auditions before they give her the part.
The director was impressed by her and give her the role.

Act in what? Porn? WADR, that shit ain't "acting".

The director was most likely hoping for a good blow job or something I am sure.

Or more like the producers knew that this story will make it to thousands of forums and Attack of the Show. Just like when they signed Artie Lange to be on the show. Artie couldn't act his way out of a paper bag, but Stern fans all watched Entourage that week.

The Girlfriend Experience and Smash Cut. Both were HORRIBLE thanks, in large part, to her acting "ability."

Okay...as if movies like "The Girlfriend Experience" and "Smash Cut" would have been masterpieces in any event.

But she keeps getting mainstream work so I'm not the only one "smitten".:tongue:

A lot of people continue to get mainstream work. How? Who knows.

It's called the Devil known as Hollywood.

I reacted to you calling her talented, not to her getting work. Britney Spears sold a shit load of CDs...that doesn't make her a good singer.

At any rate, she was a horrible actress in both movies. And yes, they were shitty movies, but talent speaks for itself and I'm not sure what you base her "talent" on. If not her porn or the movies she's been in, then what? That she can complete a sentence and not say "like" before every other word?

Talented crosses many borders...B Spears IS talented...her material is not to my taste but selling records is more than just singing. FWIW, Spears is a talented performer when she's on her game.

Sasha Grey is talented...a couple of roles in C movies doesn't mean she's not talented.

People say some actor or actress making millions a movie can't act. The arbiters are the people who continue to employ them I would say.:dunno:

No, the arbiters of talent are those who witness it.

You're still not answering my question. You say she's talented, but you don't say at what. You discount her shitty performance in the only two mainstream movies she did (GF Experience was in theatres and is a Steven Soderbergh film btw, hardly a C movie) and you don't consider her porn work to be acting. Unless you think that sucking a dozen cocks in an afternoon is a talent, I'm not sure what you're saying her talent is.

And for the record, I didn't say Spears wasn't talented, I implied she's not a good singer.

Obviously you and I have drawn different conclusions on her ability. It is very important for an actor to be properly cast and have a worthy story and script. That's why most don't take on every script and role.

We've seen time and time and time and time again where an artist of any stripe performs a role where the casting and script doesn't benefit their talent. Singers are asked to perform songs that don't suit their talents.

Because you didn't like or appreciate her talent in a couple of movies doesn't create a reality no more than what I believe.

"The Girlfriend Experience" from my perspective was a C story and script that aspired to be B or A from a production perspective.

Understandable for the creator to do that with a fairly inexperienced actress. Don't create at story too advanced but respect the artist with a worthy production.

I thought she did a good job under the circumstances and most people who sort of know what they're looking for can see the talent there. There are great (not that she's great per se) actors and actresses who have many many many nondescript roles before they get the quintessential role which illuminates their talent. Hasn't that been proven time and time again???

Her performance farrrrr exceeds any other porn to mainstream actress I've ever seen.

And for the record, I didn't say Spears wasn't talented, I implied she's not a good singer.

Let's not wordsmith. If we both understand that selling records by an individual performer is about more than just the relative ability to sing..what's the point of implying she can't sing if but to suggest also that she isn't talented?:dunno:

Especially since the subject is "talent".
