In his new film The Girlfriend Experience, director Stephen Soderbergh cast an actor from the adult side of the business - Sasha Grey.
According to Gawker, Soderbergh explained the decision thusly to the Wall Street Journal:
"It's so mainstream now.... When you look at people who are transmitting the news to you on television they all look like they're in porn, the way they're coiffed. It's really crazy. There's this like hyper-grooming thing going on now, men and women.
Gawker decided to run with it. It put up a gallery of 16 photos -- eight people from the porn side of the equation, eight from U.S. TV.
