The Katie Morgan Influence

So it has happened. I have become acquainted with an actress's mainstream film work before finding that she's done porn. Actually this already happened with Echo Valley in Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay we're going to ignore that.

I watched Zack and Miri Make a Porno in the not too long ago and was enraptured by the bubbly personality of Stacey, the not-too-bright character played by Ms. Morgan. As soon as the credits rolled I got her name and went to the internets. I found that not only is she an actual porn starlet (with a Star Trek parody to boot) but I'd passed over her scene with Naughty Office numerous times. Within the hour I scored a compilation.

I'll give Ms. Morgan the benefit of the doubt and grant that she's a good enough actress whose actual personality is different from that of the character she plays onscreen. But I like to think there is something of her in Stacey, something nevertheless that now has attracted me to a girl who I had previously considered as having a Dime-A-Dozen porn look.

And this brings me back to Sasha Gray. I have previously written, wondering which to watch first: Ms. Gray's porn work or her mainstream debut. Katie Morgan has helped me make my choice.

Be sure to check out my review of The Girlfriend Experience when I get around to watching it.
