TV and film are getting steamier at every turn. And while many long time actors and actresses may feel uncomfortable with certain scenes involving nudity, they need not worry as there's a backup plan: directors turn to the porn industry for talent. Here are some actors and actresses that we have come to recognize in the mainstream but were previously from porn.

Game of Thrones

Sibel Kekilli casted as ‘Shae’

Shae is played by the one-and-only Sibel Kekilli. Sibel’s accent and acting ability skyrocketed her role as a prostitute, leading her character to form a relationship with Tyrion Lannister. This is no doubt her breaking role.
