Are We Talent?
Tue, 24 Sept 2002, 07:28 pmAs the lovely Jenny McNae pointed out at the judging of the 2002 Youthfest, actors and models have long been called simply 'talent'. Is this acceptable by todays standards? Personally, I do not believe that those of us taking the stage should be refered to as simply as 'the talent', and we do in fact have names. This is similar to pole run a while ago of how actors should be known as, be it their character name right through a 'hey, you'. The question I am putting forward is how should the actors/model/dancers of today be known? Is 'the talent' simply enough?

well i have been a silent bystander reading different arguments over whether or not actors like being called 'Talent'. i have seen some good arguments and some not so good arguments and here's what i have gathered.
For 1: nobody really cares what they are called unless it is something durogatory.
For 2:Others would like to be called by their first name in order to distinguish themselves from the ordinary or just ''Talented''.
The way i see it and many others see it is this:
We are all talented and we all have first names, but the way in which these two terms are used really depends on how much emphasis you are willing to place on not being called by either. Just to make light of the situation we could be called the Talented Tiger or the Great Craig.
So lets just leave this argument here as it has certainly run its course and brought out the best in all of us talented human beings or peices of meat.
thanks for your precious time and goodnight,
