Amazingly enough, it looks

Amazingly enough, it looks as though this company is a TV/film production company, not an agency. Though from the description of the work, it sounds a little sus. (Who actually writes pieces to fit the actor? I've never heard of such a thing before. But hey, Michael, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) Sticky Apple Legs www.freewebs.com/stickyapplelegs Puppets in Melbourne www.thepromptcopy.com/pip My puppets www.collectzing.com/collection/137/

Actually I think that

Actually I think that sounds like an interesting concept- People that regularly read over my plays for me quite often identify that parts seem to be written 'for' my friends...or point out their characteristics are similar to people that appear regularly in the pieces we perform. Writing for an actor would be handy because you wouldn't show their weaknesses- only strengths. And wouldn't have to search for the almost perfect person to fit a role. I do think it is interesting. Actually now that I think of it Boy Banned's characters were written around the TLCG guys as we knew who would be involved before the script. This of course sounds like it's on a pro level, but that's just my thought on the matter. Anthony Rapp from Rent fame had many of the parts of his character Mark written specifically for him, especially to note the song 'Living In America'. Again...just my thoughts, could be wrong. Interesting concept though. ____________________________________________________________ Currently working on: 'Locked In' a short play based on a real life experience '...'- it's currently untitled, but it's another full length play 'The Migrant' my drama solo 'The Lazy Creati

What I meant was that it

What I meant was that it was unusual to have a film/TV production company to create roles for actors. It's more common in theatre than in TV/film. Sticky Apple Legs www.freewebs.com/stickyapplelegs Puppets in Melbourne www.thepromptcopy.com/pip My puppets www.collectzing.com/collection/137/

There is an e-mail address on the post. This question would be better directed by e-mail. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
