Fortress - your comments in this thread were so great I shared it with several friends.
It makes me wonder if David Spade may have copied you for his 2014 comedy special, that came out slightly after your comments here.
You can search for "David Spade acting is easy" on YouTube, or start watching from 13:10 here, because this video has better audio:
LOL!
I never thought much of actors, but wow - you said it. As did David Spade there.
Now I just can't escape the thought that acting is a sham.
Thanks again.
The “great talent” myth that is acting has been pushed so hard and for so long most don’t even consider the plain-as-day evidence to the contrary.
Now, writers, cinematographers, editors, directors, costume and set designers, lighting technicians, etc?
At a professional level, THESE folks require talent, along with plenty of training and/or experience.
There have been Oscar winners for Best Actress, etc. who hadn’t ever so much as considered taking part in a school production when they were children.
