SOA Sends Thanks to Porn Industry for Its Help with Hit Series

LOS ANGELES—On behalf of the cast and directors of Sons of Anarchy, which saw its final episode air last night on the FX cable network, bringing its highly successful seven-year run to a dramatic and satisfying close, Exile Distribution's Howard Levine, who also served as the show's adult casting director, sent heartfelt thanks to the many adult performers who have appeared on the show since it debuted in 2008.

"I wanted to thank all the adult performers that appeared on Sons of Anarchy this season," Levine said in a statement issued this morning. "They did a great job," he added, noting (unnecessarily), "That was Julie Cash’s ass you saw in the finale with Kelly Shibari."

Levine then listed by name performers who appeared on SOA over the years, including Puma Swede, Alexa Aimes, Alexis Adams, Daisy Marie, the Starr sisters, Callie Calypso, Mia Li, Cassandra Cruz, Jennifer Best, Vicki Chase, Allison Moore, Channel Heart, Brittany Amber, Christina Cinn, Mr. Marcus and Nick Manning.

"And a big shout out to James Bartholet, who was an immense help to me all season," he said, adding thoughtfully, "If I missed anyone, I’m sorry."

Of the experience working with so many performers from adult on a mainstream series, Levine observed, "These performers were the utmost professionals on set and they should be commended. It was a pleasure working with all of them. I look forward to doing it again as I am working on some new shows.

"The cast and the directors of Sons thank you all," he concluded, putting a period on a uniquely successful adult-mainstream collaboration.
