Porn Valley Dispatch: Lexington Steele Smokes “Weeds”

As we told you last month, porn star Lexington Steele has been playing Porn Star Lexington Steele in the two most recent episodes of Showtime's "Weeds". While his role did not allow him to service Mary Louise Parker, as we would have written it (with ourselves playing Steele), he did have more than five lines of dialogue about the catering on his porn set with series regular Justin Kirk. Not only that, but Kirsten Price and Jessica Jaymes were denied access to the craft services table for fear of pubes in the taboulli (before their obvious lack of them allowed entry).

While it might seem like typecasting to place the 420-friendly Steele in a show about marijuana, the multiple AVN Performer of the Year winner did work his acting chops by visualizing a world in which there was catering on a porn set..

Though it is true that Steele, Jaymes, and Price often perform in the rarefied world of Playboy/Skinemax cable porn, it is unlikely that the three would ever perform in the same movie together.

While we love "Weeds", it is always interesting, and sometimes irritating, to see the way the porn industry is depicted in other media. For example, the scholar will note that Steele was allowed to eat the catering, and he had much more hanging around at table level than the women did. Why? Well it wouldn't have served the joke.

And come on: no one goes to the craft services table naked.

Because of his "Over Five" on "Weeds" (which included another appearance in this past Sunday's episode, below) , Steele now has his SAG card, and will be appearing on an episode of "Nip/Tuck" this fall.
