Lexington Steele emulation: from IB to Porno, what kind of pay cut can you expect?

It is typical to consider PE after banking.... but has anyone here considered the possibility of pulling a Lexington Steele, that is becoming a pron star after a career in finance.

(Lexington Steele was a broker in the WTC before entering the porno industry) www.lexsteele.com

I myself am considering the move, after 2-3 years as an analyst. Does anyone know anything about the pay as a first-year porn star?

male porn stars make like don't make a lot per movie + you pretty much have to do a stint in gay porn before you can do straight porn

Here is what the audition process is like

The Audition is a series of 3 interviews: The first will require you to undress, You will be required to get yourself hard and cum, 2 times. This is to show your size, the amount of cum you can Produce and Stamina, you must be able to get hard within a 10 minute time slot after your first orgasm If you need anything to help you get hard such as a magazine or Lube Then bring it. The Second Is to sign paperwork and to perform with another individual. The Third Is to perform with another individual and be screen tested.

As for the pay it varies per movie, and the role you play in it. Some are just extras and they make anywhere from $250. - $500 per movie to $1000. Larger roles can go as hire as $5000. to $10,000 per movie

My friend forwarded me the application :P
