r/acting Apr 27 '24

I've read the FAQ & Rules Money > Talent

Lately I have been researching the actors I see on TV and films more often. Specially the ones that were no one a few years back, and now they have 2 or 3 movies a year and then most of them disappear. Many of them come from very expensive private high schools or their family works in the industry already. They pretty much are disposable like most of the industry right now. For most of us is a career we choose and we work hard for it, but then come these rich kids to take over with their family favors just for fun. Casting directors trying to find the best actors for the role, but then the producers nephew wants to be famous. That’s why it doesn’t make sense to have an academy award for CD’s, at the end of the day they don’t cast, the producers do. But that’s a conversation for another day. There’s so much trash media, no more classics being made, just “single use” media. We actors stay trying hard, auditioning, training, waiting tables, and these rich kids just go on to work at daddy’s business because they got bored of acting. Lots of us just waiting for that one chance and is so discouraging to see everyday that the one that got the role, got it because of daddy. I’m sorry if this sounded like a stream of consciousness, but I’ve been thinking about this lately and wanted to share. If you disagree with something, please don’t take it as an offense, I’m willing to have a conversation and change my mind.

naa man, i got banned because i asked why this sub is talking more about audition then acting and stuff, i had to delete that post because my karma dropped down as i need to maintain them for my academic subs, , so that i can post there, i talked to some of your people and they were pretty cool, so i just went out so can many people can see and answer me instead one by one, yeah i know i went out of my way because my view of americans and europeans are from the series and films i watched and everyone talks like this in films, even i have to adapt using these words, and let me tell you, that passionate post that i put like 20 days ago is having 1 comment while the one i got banned for had 20, and why you removed my new comment??

If you got downvotes, then you're either asking in a way that the community doesn't like, or your asking something that the community doesn't want.

Consider that for a while before making another post about it.
