@dannypintauro: Hollywood Reality Check, Episode 1. Cheyenne Jackson recently shared a striking explanation of how the casting hierarchy has compressed as the industry has contracted. Actors who once competed for series regulars are now entering the pool for recurring roles and guest spots, which means casting pools that used to be more separate are increasingly overlapping. Fewer jobs. More overlap. More competition at every level. And his takeaway? “No ego, amigo.” If you work in entertainment and you’re seeing the business change firsthand, DM me or tell me in the comments.
