In the Lifetime movie From Straight A’s to XXX, college freshman Miriam Weeks (Haley Pullos) becomes a porn star (Belle Knox) in order to pay for her $60,000/year tuition at Duke University. Although she’s encouraged on-set by her manager Don, Miriam can’t keep her second life a secret on campus.

Don is portrayed by Judd Nelson. He’s known for his roles on the TV shows Empire (Billy Beretti) and Suddenly Susan with Brooke Shields (Jack Richmond), and in the films The Breakfast Club (John Bender), St. Elmo’s Fire (Alec Newberry), and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (Sheriff), among others. From Straight A’s to XXX premieres on Lifetime on Saturday, February 11 at 8pm.
