If you knew anything about movies you’d know that the producer doesn’t “hire” (by which I guess you really mean “audition”) -—the director does this, and yes, even at the amateur level, it happens all the time. And yes, monologues of five minutes or longer.
LS,
“If you knew anything about movies you’d know that the producer doesn’t “hire” (by which I guess you really mean “audition”) -—the director does this...”
Okay, so according to you, now the Director is paying people and cutting checks?
The entity paying people is the Production Company (the Producer(s).
Actors work for the Production Company, not for the Director.
They are hired by the Production Company, b/c the Director says “Hire this guy, okay?”
Sorry, cha cha.
The Director’s not ‘hiring’ or ‘paying’ anybody, unless he’s also cutting the checks as dual-role (Producer AND Director).
If the entity cutting checks overrules the Director’s preferred casting choice, the Director has 2 choices: Leave the production, or hire a different actor.
Either way, you still can’t see Robbie Parker SMILING at the beginning of that YouTube clip as he approaches the TV press conference on the lawn?
He’s smiling.
I can quote every word from Star Wars (1977) from the first word to the last flawlessly (Even in the different accents). I used to do it for my Sons when they were little when I’d put them to bed. They were asleep by the time Han and Luke changed into the Stormtrooper armor on the Death Star.
Yep.
I’m a nerd.
