Ex-Porn Star Traci Lords Stars in Web Series with Ex-NBAer

Traci Lords is an ex-porn star, (in)famous for having a prolific, underage adult film career from the ages of 15 to just before her 18 birthday, which she was somehow able to transition into a more than moderately successful legitimate acting career, thereby being one of only a handful of pornographers aside from Sasha Grey to bust “one of the oldest myths in the world.”

You can catch Lords in a variety of supporting roles and cameo appearances in R and P13-rated major motion picture releases. And now you can also watch her SFW acting abilities online.

Lords is a producer and star of The Booster Club. Production company King Rich Entertainment bills the series as a Weeds meets The Wire comedy that “takes viewers into the lives of a ring of

professional booster ‘theives’ dedicated to the advancement of those addicted to the high of stealing.” Maybe the promo editor was feeling morose, but the over-exposed trailer with heavy-handed deliveries of emotional dialogue and an ominous score looks more like a Crash meets Crash for petty thieves than anything having to do with funny.

Alongside Lords stars ex-NBA player Rashad McCants, who, after a tough run in professional basketball is seeing if he can make a better career out of being an actor than an athlete. He plays the “bisexual leader of a high-end shoplifting ring,” and is also on board as one of the The Booster Club‘s executive producers, along with Dwane Barnes and Malaku Quisada-McCray.

There’s no scheduled release date for The Booster Club just yet. We’ll keep you posted.
