** Joey was once in a porn movie because he was 'young, and needed some money'. He plays a guy who walks in during a sex scene to watch the couple have sex on the photocopier. [[Spear Carrier|At least he had a speaking bit]], "You know, that's really bad for the paper tray."
** In another episode, Joey tells his agent that he's frustrated that she hasn't been getting him any good jobs lately. She replies, "Well you're just going to say no again, but ''gay porn?''"

{{quote| '''Jordan:''' Nice job, Perry. Your son just asked me if ''my'' vagina's ever been on television.<br />
'''Perry:''' And, did you tell him not since the 80s when you were trying to make it as an "actress"? }}
* Apparently Wilson, from ''[[House (TV series)|House]]'', was in a porno back in college. He swears that [[Hurricane of Excuses|it wasn't a porno when they were shooting it, and he was doing it as a favor to a friend that he had]] ''no idea'' would become an ''actual director'', [[Hurricane of Excuses|and said friend added some scenes in afterwards so he could release it as a porno...]] The fact that Wilson is entirely absent from all the sex scenes does lend credence to his story. House just wanted to see him squirm.
{{quote| '''Young Wilson:''' [[House (TV series)/Funny|Be not afraid. The forest nymphs have taught me how to please a woman.]]}}
* [[Stephen Colbert]] was once a male prostitute, but classy. Actually, that was his street name: [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Butt Classy]].
* Melanie from ''[[
* ''[[Goodness Gracious Me]]'' parodied this trope in a sketch where Bollywood superstar Chunky Lafanga is exposed as having starred in "a hardcore porn film" (using the exact phrase "I was young and needed the money" to justify his actions.) We then see a clip from the film in question, the joke being that because this was Indian cinema, the scene is more like saucy ''[[Carry On]]''-style innuendo than explicit porn.
* Played lightly in ''[[Downton Abbey]]'' where Carson is blackmailed over an apparently scandalous secret from his past. It turns out that he used to be a pierside entertainer, which is amusing to the rest of the household but cringemaking for him.
* Another example, in ''[[
* Unsurprisingly, Karen on ''[[Will and Grace]]'' once starred in an adult film called ''Next to Godliness'' in which she plays a neat-freak dominatrix.
{{quote| '''Karen:''' Well, I was just out of college. I was broke. It's the oldest story in the world. Boy meets girl, boy wants girl to do dominatrix film, girl says, "naked?" Boy says, "yeah." Girl says, "forget it." Boy says, "ok, then just wear this rubber dress and beat the old guy with a scrub brush." Girl says, "how hard?"}}
* [[Castle|Detective Kate Beckett]] worked as a teenage model once.
* Erin in ''[[Blue Bloods]]'' worked as a cocktail waitress at Roxy's (a famous NYC nightclub). She told her parents she worked at a roller skate rink. The part about wearing roller skates was true...
* On ''[[
* Cam of ''[[Bones]]'' was strapped for cash starting at med school and so agreed to play a role in the low-budget "The Invasion of the Mother Suckers". It's hard to tell whether the film was more embarassing or the fact that it featured her in 70's clothing with an afro.

* In [[Fallout: New Vegas]] your companion [[Felicia Day|Veronica]] will say this when you talk to her sometimes. Used as a joke, because she always cuts off whatever you were going to ask.
Line 86:
** So was actor Channing Tatum. He's even getting a film produced about this time in his life, directed by Steven Soderbergh (he is playing himself).
* Up until about 1991, Merzbow (yes, ''that'' [[Harsh Noise|Merzbow]]) made soundtracks for S&M porn flicks.
* Subverted by Jessica Biel, who did a topless magazine shoot in late 2003. She didn't need the money at all, having just come off of the very successful remake of ''[[
* Sasha Grey, now an actress and avant-gardist, spent five straight years in the porn industry. She's known just as much for one as the other nowadays.
* Back before [[Square Enix|Enix merged with Square]], among the projects it had under its belt were at least two really old H-games.
