1 thing scott- and this is really just me picking up on the 1% of what you wrote that i don’t agree with - i’m not sure the 80% rate of actor unemployment is a result of directors wanting choice.

is it not simply there are way more artists (directors included) than funding, venues and audience to keep them working? every night in moscow there are 100 plays going on and those guys are still super picky over who they cast.
