20.1 If it is so hard to be in adult movies, why do actors and actresses enter the business at all?
Most are actors who didn't make it into the "big time". Jerry
Butler, in his book "Raw Talent", says he got into porno so he
could make a few extra bucks and get some experience in front of a
movie camera. However, he didn't expect the stigma to follow him,
and when it did, he found he had nowhere else to act, but in porn
movies.
Now Jerry's may be an extreme case. Keep in mind that it acting is
very hard profession to break in to. People who go to Hollywood to
find their dreams often find themselves on waiting lists for jobs
waiting tables. So it is a way to act and make some pocket money.
There are other reasons, too. Some are, unfortunately, supporting
a drug habit; some are simply curious (as Hypatia Lee once
mentioned in an interview); some figured if they were going to
swing in private, why not swing in public and make a few bucks; and
some just genuinely enjoy it.
