Elise Neal in King Magazine

Video vixen turned actress Elise Neal is tied up in bondage and ready to be punished in the November 2007 issue of King Magazine.

Here are some excerpts from King Magazine’s interview with the Hustle and Flow actress:

You were one of the first to break the “video chick” curse by establishing a credible acting career. That’s like seeing Sasquatch.
The journey was weird for me because I didn’t want to act. I wanted to sing, dance and be on stage. I wanted to be on Broadway. When I got started, the ’90s was a big period in hip-hop and R&B, and a lot of the choreographers that I worked with were doing music videos as well as musical-theater jobs. That’s how I got into videos.

Wait, video chicks are supposed to be good dancers? Could’ve fooled us.
Don’t get it twisted. I was the go-to video chick for a while. I was in everything from Father MC to Black Sheep videos back in the day, and I’m very proud of it. But once I decided to make acting my career, I pretty much cut the videos off.

Last year, art almost imitated life when you were in talks to portray another famed clip vixen, Karrine Steffans, in a full-length feature. Is that still going down?
Everybody has been asking me about it, and we’re sort of at a standstill. I just want it to be something that she has a lot of control over, which is difficult sometimes in making movies. But I would still do it if it came together in the right way.
