Question
I wanted to know where i could apply to become a male adult film actor. I am 19, i live in Los Angeles and I'm ready to become a porn actor.

Answer

Getting into the porn business as a male is very difficult, and there is no place to "apply."  You may want to consider picking up Ray West's guide here and learn how you can produce your own adult videos on your own terms.
