In what appears to be a typical case of type casting, major Hollywood sleaze bag and washed up actor Don Johnson will play a mustachioed porn director in BORN TO BE A STAR, the Adam Sandler and Jack Giarraputo-produced comedy at Columbia Pictures.
The film stars Nick Swardson as a small-town dweeb who discovers that his unassuming folks were famous porn stars in the 1970s. This pushes him to leave northern Iowa for Hollywood, hoping to follow in their footsteps and fulfill his destiny as the biggest adult-film star in the world. Johnson plays the unforunate director who gibes Swardson his break. Christina Ricci and Stephen Dorff also star.
