I was actually looking ...Fuckin damn straight hoss! I was actually looking you up after a talk a buddy of mine and I were having about a commercial he had seen for a new series that looked promising to be honest from the 10 sec clip that FX threw together cant tell enough about it but the idea agrees with me. With the R.O.T. Rally roughly a week away it has got all my buddies pumped up for some fun. If you wanted a cast you should have come to Texas bro. The whole actors being too good for a reading shit I was a fuckin extra on a few films and still had to prove myself once or twice. So I can see where a nose in the air actor could be a bitch. But like I always say "Fuck'em!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108759479938339169.post-74256309049265256842008-04-16T10:58:00.000-07:002008-04-16T10:58:00.000-07:00wow! This post really got me. It's very interestin...wow! This post really got me. It's very interesting to hear about the "movies' world". I was actually shocked when I read about those actors. It's very sad how people are so conceited. You're totally right! Wtf?? They think they just come in,chat a lil bit and they get the role?? It's really unbelievable! Thank God there are normal actors as well. Take Katey, she knew she was gonna get the role but she went to the audition and read all the same! Every actor should be like that. Although,that's really sad most of people see her as Peggy Bundy. They don't even try to treat her as Katey Sagal.<BR/>I really enjoy reading your opinion about things. I'll keep reading! ;)Juleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00594302339172980593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108759479938339169.post-88638149840430030332008-02-20T00:04:00.000-08:002008-02-20T00:04:00.000-08:00Fucking brilliant. I feel like I'm coming late to...Fucking brilliant. I feel like I'm coming late to the party.<BR/><BR/>You know, this seems to touch on what I feel is the most pervasive problem in our society at this moment: an overwhelming sense of entitlement. I'm a fledgling filmmaker (actor, writer, the works) mired a bit too much at the moment in the bill-paying 'real life'. (Which is to say my preference would be to be working on film all the time to pay the bills, but I'm currently outside of the industry and find that too much of my day and focus gets devoted to this job rather than to what I would love to be doing.) <BR/><BR/>I work for an internet retailer and more and more we find that customers want to dicker with us to get the most "free" shit they possibly can or they don't feel we deserve their business. It's no longer about added perks that hold special meaning. It's expected that we'll take losses to include all sorts of things for the same price as - or even lower than - the competition just because it's a product we offer. They feel entitled to this simply because they took a breath this morning and clicked on our site or gave us a call.<BR/><BR/>I know, that sounds like a pretty isolated gripe and perhaps something not worth mentioning. It's but one example, though, that speaks to a larger attitude that seems to exist nowadays; the same attitude that you're talking about. Actors who believe that just because they've done some work and have some decent credits (or even just some credits) on their CV that they no longer have to audition. They no longer have to work to get things. They are entitled simply because their face has appeared on-screen before.<BR/><BR/>Yet look at the most respected actors. They work constantly to get to where they are and they endure because of it. Yes, many get to the point in their careers where they are familiar enough that a reading or a screen test doesn't become necessary. Certainly Scott Glenn, like you mentioned, has shown his talent and the depth he brings to all of his roles, so you know that you are getting a professional and an artist of high caliber. And even many of your 'character actors' get to a point where someone says, "Get me that guy for my flick." But they've all put in their time, scripts or sides in hand. In fact, how many have actually won over a director or casting director when they wouldn't have been considered based on their previous work? <BR/><BR/>That's the importance of auditioning. This idea of entitlement needs to be weeded out.<BR/><BR/>Alright, ramble over. Thanks for sharing a great thought.<BR/><BR/>- mtTuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160816059642895010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6108759479938339169.post-19744413548809288922008-02-09T17:50:00.000-08:002008-02-09T17:50:00.000-08:00This post here is so true.

Katey Sagal is a good example, as she has had to work hard to prove others what she was capable of.
