Season Deux

So my original actor disappeared. I mean literally ghosted me. Not that there was any structure to this. BUT, if you think this is beneath you...we can move on. I have no problems re-writing the story. And neither does anyone else. I understand sometimes actors have a habit of thinking they are infallible. On the level we make these things, we could probably replace you with a potato and no one would care. Actors are fragile folk. With good reason...no one wants to be made the fool, publicly. I try my best to make it really cool and that everyone would be proud to be involved. The last actor was a bit stiff and lacked some awareness that saying less dialogue means you are a stronger character. As with most actors, they want to speak more. Except legends like Steve McQueen or Clint Eastwood. They knew that giving their co-stars lines meant they could be the strong silent type. Pretty simple stuff.
