PG Porn

Fans of Michael Rosenbaum who miss him in his role as Lex Luthor in the series Smallville will pleased to know about his new role as Charlie Brown in the two YouTube videos produced by James Gunn called Peanus and A Very Peanus Christmas.

Part of James Gunn's series PG Porn, which has been recently been picked up by Spike.com, where all the newer videos premiere, the series combines real Hollywood actors and real porn stars into short films that begin like porn, then quickly shoot off in strange, non-porn directions.



Other real actor/porn actor team ups include star of Serenity, Dr. Horrible and ABC's Castle Nathan Fillion and star of Thirteen Erotic Ghosts, Virtual Lap Dancers and Chloroformed Pin-Up Girls! Aria Giovanni in Nailing Your Wife,



The Office's Craig Robinson and porn star Bree Olson in Helpful Bus, (a behind the scene's video of which can be seen below),



And finally, my favorite of the series, in which auteur James Gunn teams up with crossover porn star Sasha Grey in Roadside Ass-istance.



Many of the behind-the-scenes contain interviews with the real actors talking about how surprised they are that the porn actresses are so "professional" or "funny" betraying a certain elitism, but Gunn's genius comes from blurring the line between porn and comedy, porn actors and "real" actors and porn and Hollywood.

And if you're enjoying these, be sure to check out Serenity's Alan Tudyk teaming up with Belladonna in High Poon. It has the most startling and ridiculous ending I've seen in a long time, and Alan Tudyk shows himself to be an actor without shame.
