Alfredo Hitchcock once compared actors to cattle.

Insult to ver useful cattle, and why is Bannon not still in the White House?

Bannon was the “second” president. No problem there. BTW, furniture have use, actors have none.

When you listen to the things they say when there isn’t a script... you have to ask yourself if they are kidding or if they mean what they just said.

Acting must be easy as hell with the dumbest people on earth doing it.

Over-inflated sense of self is a hazard of celebrity. I can see how it happens. Still, a good agent should follow their clients closely with a tazer and administer a jolt every time they venture outside their narrow field of “expertise”. Constant reality checking is essential.

That just adds credence to an observation I made many years ago when contemplating how they are so easily led and it seems the more talented they are, the deeper the affliction;

Actors are so malleable because they have invested so much of who they are to being someone else according to a script that they eventually have no recollection who in the hell they were to begin with. Their whole world view extended to nothing more than the next script that they feel they need to recite on queue to get their next paycheck.

Didn’t Bannon make his money from Hollywood?

Their skill is pretending to be someone else. Use emotions to make emotional scenes. There are a few smart actors, but most reallly are mindless, emotional nuts.

I took a week long screenwriting workshop once and we were told not to add details about physical characteristics of characters because if, for example, we wrote that a character had blue eyes, actors with brown eyes wouldn’t try out for the part.

One of the early Hollywood moguls, somebody like Goldwyn or the like, considered actors to be as interchangeable as auto workers.

And should only be paid as much.
