For such a youngster, Sasha Grey has already had a long, storied career in the porn industry. We've chronicled it here, here, here, and here. But she's never been shy about her dreams of crossover success (while still maintaining her love for the adult industry). We're not talking about the kind of crossover success achieved by someone like Jenna Jameson (autobiography, owning your own adult entertainment company, etc.). Grey wanted to be a movie star, like her idol, French New Wave starlet Anna Karina. Getting cast in the lead of the 2009 Steven Soderbergh call girl movie The Girlfriend Experience was certainly a good start. Guesting on this season of Entourage as Vincent Chase's love interest is not a bad follow-up. But both those roles exploit Grey's sexual aura (In Entourage she's actually starring as herself). How could she ever be considered a "serious actress" if we keep getting reminded she used to fuck for a living?
