Porn Valley stars who cross over to Hollywood are rare indeed, but rarer still is the mainstream actor who chooses to shoot porn. That’s the path taken by Maitland Ward, best known for her role on the Disney television series Boy Meets World. Ward talked to AVN back in September, shortly after she wrapped her first big adult feature movie. The mainstream star was cast opposite Angela White in Drive, an ambitious drama directed by Kayden Kross for her Deeper.com imprint. Today, just three months after Ward made a huge splash in her debut on Blacked.com, director Kross broke the news that the actress has signed an exclusive contract with Deeper.com. Kross is already in production on Ward’s next project, and the Deeper team couldn’t be happier to have the red-hot redhead on board, after she broke sales records with her scenes in Drive. In a statement issued today, Kross said, “I'm so excited to have the opportunity to work with Maitland even more closely on more projects,” noting that she met Ward in a coffee shop earlier this year and signed her to star in Drive that very day. “Her work on Drive was iconic, and her abilities as an actress coupled with her untethered sexuality will allow us to continue to explore and experiment with complex storylines and intense sexual situations that are quickly becoming the hallmark of Deeper.” The specifics of Ward’s contract were not set forth, but a variety of firsts and special appearances are promised throughout 2020.
