Sat, 1 Oct 2005, 05:40 pmWhy do people in charge of casting choose an american over an aussie to play an australian character?
Australian actors struggle to get work while americans are just swimming in it and then casting directors have the nerve to do this. Take a moment and think about how many people in this site alone desperately want to be actors and actresses and that is one site alone. Out of all the want- to- be- actors only about 3-6% make it and the rest struggle to survive, juggling 3 jobs and still hoping they will get a break!
GIVE AUSSIES A FAIR GO AMERICA!
P.S I would also like to add that there are only a few australian dramas on tv at the moment. aka blue heelers, all saints, home and away and neighbours.
Home and away has been bought 5 years in advance and Neighbours is loved so much by britain that they have bought it 10 years in advance so that only leaves all saints and blue heelers.
Producers are now thinking about cutting either blue heelers or all saints because you don't need more than one aussie drama on channel 7. All saints's rating have sky rocketed so they are untouchable now so that leaves blue heelers on thin ice. Blue heelers has been on channel 7 for as long as i can remember and it will be a shame for all the talented actors and actresses on this show to lose their jobs.

That's one example as opposed to all the movies and shows out there with Australians playing Americans. I disagree with this claim. And using one example like lost is a bit tenuous. Americans generally can't do a convincing Australian accent anyway.
