Salve,

Some may recal some time back (years?) Grant Malcolm had suggested some novel ideas with regards an Actor's Info Section to this site. Well, after the recent poll and a few quick posts back and forth between him and myself, I will remind everyone of some of the very good reasons to have Bio Page.

Here are some of the suggestions, straight from Grant...

So think of it. When a cast announcement is made, you could have links to their Acting CVs if you like. Not only can you simply advertise yourself, you can also link to shows, club, etc that you are involved with. With funcitonality such as that, I am sure more will see the power of the Dark Side ..... Ermmmm ..... Hmmmppphhfffff.

Jokes aside, I personally see far more potential for intergration. Most of the functionality is already there. It exists mainly in the tools used to create the current links from Events to Companies.

It may require a little work to design the interface and such, but overall it shouldn't be too hard, should it?
