Porn parodies are a dime a dozen these days, but the sheer amount of preparation that went into the Donald Sterling edition seems a bit much for an erotic film.
According to the Huffington Post, not only was an actual “actor” hired to play the role of Donald Sterling, but he did his homework, too. James Bartholet, who plays Sterling in the film and has appeared on both “General Hospital” and the teen sex film “Last American Virgin” (as well as numerous other porn parodies, of course), spent time reviewing tapes to get Sterling’s voice down. He said, “I worked my way into the character. I had to make him real, three-dimensional and, I don’t want to say likeable, but tolerable.”
As for the rest of the cast, including porn star Raven Bay, who plays the role of V. Stiviano, they also strived to make their characters as genuine as possible, with Bay even asked to “put on more jewelry” by the director, as “It’s not you anymore.” So method.
Jovan Jordan, who plays the black professional basketball player Stiviano and Shelly Sterling (played by Nina Hartley) nail as revenge, lucked out when it came to authenticity as well. Since official NBA logos aren’t allowed in porn, he was fortunate that the Clippers turned their shirts inside out as a sign of solidarity. Less authentic, maybe, is the fact that Jordan appears to be high as hell in this barely SFW preview:
