Child actors. is it right?
Thu, 24 July 2003, 11:16 amHello,
I am doing a research assignment on child actors. If you could possibly answer these questions and email them to me it would be so much help. Please note: Your email address and name will be kept confidentail. The only other person who may see this information is my teacher. For more info please email at - jassy_jase@yahoo.com
Q1:
Do you believe its right for mothers to push their children, some as young as 2 into modeling and talent agency's?
Q2:
At what age do you belive children should be allowed to work in the arts industry?
Q3:
Do you think it's right for theatre companies to use children to rope in profit. Eg. Annie, Oliver, Sound of Music.
Q4:
Should we wipe out child performing all together in television/theatre. Allowing only children from 15 onwards to enter this field?
Q5:
In your own opinion, what is a normal childhood?
Thank you for your time,
Jason Triggs.

As a reply i would like to say that i am a child actor. I have been training and working in the buisness for about 5 years now and at the moment i am 14 years old. I feel that i was never pushed into the industry but have such an ambition towards it that i strongly disagree to your comments. Through the last five years no theatre or televison companies have taken advantage of me. Not once. Maybe you should try to talk to more child actors before encouraging us to answer negativly as i am sure that many of us have just as much ambition to get work and be proffesional actors in later life as many actors.
Thanks,
Lauren
