A '''pornographic film [[actor]]''' or '''actress''', '''adult entertainer''', or '''porn star''' is a person who performs [[Human sexual activity|sex acts]] in video that is usually characterized as a [[pornographic movie]]. Such videos tend to be made in a number of distinct pornographic subgenres and attempt to present a [[sexual fantasy]]; the actors selected for a particular role are primarily selected on their ability to create or fit that fantasy. Pornographic videos are characterised as either [[Softcore pornography|softcore]], which does not contain depictions of [[sexual penetration]] or extreme [[Sexual fetish|fetishism]], and [[hardcore pornography|hardcore]], which can contain depictions of penetration or extreme fetishism, or both. The genres and sexual intensity of videos is mainly determined by demand. Depending on the genre of the film, the on-screen appearance, age, and physical features of the main actors and their ability to create the sexual mood of the video is of critical importance. Most actors specialize in certain genres, such as [[Straight pornography|straight sex]], [[Bisexual pornography|bisexual sex]], [[Gay pornography|gay sex]], [[Lesbian pornography|lesbian sex]], [[Bondage pornography|bondage]], [[pegging (sexual practice)#Pegging in pornography|strap-on sex]], [[anal sex]], [[double penetration]], [[semen swallowing]], [[Teen pornography|teenage women]], [[Orgy|orgy sex]], [[Age roleplay|age roleplay sex]], [[Fauxcest|fauxcest sex]], [[Interracial pornography|interracial]] or [[MILF pornography|MILFs]] and much more.

The pornography industry in the United States was the first to develop its own [[movie star]] system, primarily for commercial reasons. In other countries, the "star" system is not common, with most actors being amateurs. Most performers use a [[pseudonym]] and strive to maintain off-screen anonymity. A number of pornographic actors and actresses have written autobiographies. It is very rare for pornographic actors and actresses to successfully cross over to the mainstream film industry.

The number of pornographic film actors who have worked in the United States can be indicated by number of actors tested by [[Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation]] (AIM). When in 2011 its patient [[database]] was [[Data breach|leaked]] it contained details of over 12,000 pornographic actors that it had tested since 1998.<ref name="gawker">{{cite web|url=http://gawker.com/#!5787392/porn-star-hiv-test-database-leaked|title=Today's gossip is tomorrow's news|publisher=Gawker Media|work=Gawker|access-date=January 11, 2015}}</ref><ref name=foxnews>{{cite news| url=http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2011/03/31/california-health-clinic-reportedly-releases-porn-actors-personal-information/ | work=Fox News | title=Porn Actors' Personal Information, HIV Status Released Through California Health Clinic, Report Says | date=March 31, 2011}}</ref> {{As of|2011}}, it was reported that roughly 1,200–1,500 performers were working in California's "[[Porn Valley]]".<ref name=foxnews/>
