Are We Talent?

As 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?

Ponder for a while...

:D lol, thatÂ’s my point. I donÂ’t care if I get called talent, and I donÂ’t see how anyone can be upset my being called it either.

I think the plot was lost a while ago... so I'll jus say that you were right and I was wrong...over what though, I'm not sure. It is clear to me that your spelling is far superior to mine, so I shall never hope to achieve any kind of credibility anyway.
