In an interesting article about porn stars crossing into mainstream media, actor Dylan Vox (better known to smut junkies as Brad Benton) talked about his experience in both adult and independent productions.
“I think people get hung up on where you came from as opposed to where you’re going,” notes Vox, 30, about his current success in the show 'The Lair.' “Elisabeth Hasselbeck was on ‘Survivor,’ and like it or not, she actually has something to say, and it’s been intriguing for people to watch, but they never would have hired her for ‘The View’ if she hadn’t been on ‘Survivor’ first. The industry wasn’t open to her.”
Vox chose porn as a way to pay for his MBA while pursuing his dreams of being a competitive figure skater. It paid better than being a waiter. And lucky for him Falcon Studios was in Colorado filming on location. A performer dropped out and the rest, as they say, is history.
“And at that time, they actually paid,” Vox pointed out, “because the movies were a big deal. Now there’s so much internet and all that stuff, and everybody’s a dime a dozen.”
Finding connections in the mainstream was suprisingly easy. “The people behind the scenes were in the industry, they were editors and filmmakers. I remember I did one (film) and one of the sound guys worked on ‘Will & Grace,’ and this was just something he was doing while they were on hiatus, it was just a paycheck for him.”
