Stunt Casting

Sun, 3 June 2001, 08:54 am
Yes, but I would be interested to know about the Perth links of Max Gillies (Cosi); Tempany Deckert, Kerry Armstrong (Away) etc... I am not begrudging these actors the chance to work: rather, I am wondering how these companies can justify 'padding' their casts with actors who are there (if only in part) because they are from Home and Away or whatever... I don't blame Tempany or Kerry for coming over, but I could list dozens of wonderful Perth actresses who could have filled those roles (yourself included Amanda), when Black Swan are producing a well-known play that is guaranteed to do well regardless of All-Star casts. There are plenty of great actors and actresses in Perth who aren't working and would jump at a chance to work with one of these big companies, whereas the exposure that TV stars may generate over east may mean that work is a little easier to come by for them, both in Syd-Melb and Perth. If these actresses and actors were auditioned alongside twenty other actors from all over and got the role on their own merits, then I will stand corrected and will apologise. However - featuring Max Gillies on the poster for Cosi and Kerry Armstrong (recent Logie winner and all!) on the poster of Away, when neither play a leading role, makes me wonder about the agenda in casting for some of these companies.
