"Actors"

I just overheard the kid who plays the main character in the Pilot I'm working for dissing Wheaton. More Specifically my alma mater. He said that his old girlfriend was from Wheaton and her father said the town had "small minds and big back yards." That it was because the College was so conservative. Like conservative was a bad word.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

First off. ACTOR. You're 20. You've seen LA and New York. You're from Milwaukee. Oooohh. Nice. You're never getting hired by me. Sorry. You should be more careful about whose college you diss.

Wheaton may be conservative, but it's minds are wide open. More so than most liberals that I've known in my life.

Basically, I'm just a tad resentful of the "talent," which has yet to be evaluated by my critical eye. It just seems to me that everyone working on this project is a little too enthusiastic about this project for what the premise promises, and what I've read so ar of the script. It's not bad, it really isn't. I'm just not sold. I'm only seeing pieces and parts of the production, but I'm a hard sell on this. It just bothers me to see these guys waltz in and get all the attention and perks for what? The possibility that they'll be the next great boy band? Lapping up the Jonas Brothers' wake? Welcome to Hollywood. Its the way the business works. Get used to it. Whatever.

Let go and Let God.

*edit* One reason why actors bother me is the desperation. More than any other specialty in this field actors are desperate. In more ways than one. If they're not working they're desperate for work. If they are working they're desperate for a better role. It goes back to the thing that bothered me about that one successful producer dude, he said he wanted people who were desperate for success. But desperation still stinks. Please, oh, please don't let me get to the true desperate place.
