[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Emily Blunt is a classically trained British actor.  People in the states are not used to this level of acting ability and prefer the [b]Hollywood trained actors[/b].

What does this mean?  Being a waiter until you're discovered?  Or being discovered, then becoming a bloated, washed up alcoholic or a shriveled drug addled junkie?[/quote]

Many people who appear in the typical American movies are hired for their looks or bodies rather than their ability to act.   The good actors tend to go toward Broadway or other serious regional theaters.  When they get some roles on their resumes, they may go to Hollywood to earn money so that they can then continue in the theater.  In recent years, the Tony awards have been given over to Hollywood celebs to attract an audience.  The serious actors must cringe when they are introduced by no-talent celebs.  It reminds me of Audra McDonald having to step in for Carrie Underwood at the end of the live broadcast of the abominable "Sound of Music."  Carrie's voice was gone after hours of shreiking, so McDonald sang the closing song of "Climb Every Mountain" to cover Underwood's inability to do so.  Cringeworthy plus.[/quote]
