Star Power - Cancelled
Tue, 19 June 2007, 05:13 pmBleak Outlook
Wed, 20 June 2007, 11:12 amYou have a very bleak outlook on the life of an actor.
1) No self-respecting actor would be seen dead on a soapie.
Many current High Profile Actors started off in 'soapies'. It gave them their 'big-break'. Any intelligent actor would realize that any exposure is good exposure.
2) Stage auditions for parts in TV and film. HELLO????????
Again many TV and Film actors start of in theatre (Kevin Spacey is one that comes to mind) plus many keep their connections with theatre (eg Judy Dench). Making the transition from stage to Film/TV happens all the time.
3) 16-25 year olds can't compete in the industry with 26-40 year olds who look younger than them.
Why not? It has nothing to do with looks in this case. When you have two similar looking individuals, of similar stage age, it comes down to who can portray the characters best. Any respectable director will keep in mind that a mentally old person naturally acts older and finds it harder to act younger than another is is young.
Sorry, your points don't hold much strength when there is plenty of evidence to the contrary.
