[quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]Many people who appear in the typical American movies are hired for their looks or bodies rather than their ability to act.[/b]   [b]The good actors tend to go toward Broadway or other serious regional theaters.[/b]  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...[/quote]

Yes, many Hollywood blockbuster type movies hire for looks vs. talent.  However, it's an over simplification.  Dustin Hoffman, Bette Middler, or Al Pacino wouldn't have careers.  You should watch Casting By:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1293751/?ref_=fn_tt_tt_7

Vast over generalization of where "good actors" go.  There are plenty of terrible, classically trained British actors and plenty of classically trained American actors.  Geena Davis, Elizabeth McGovern, and Phoebe Cates went to Juilliard.  All attractive women, classically trained who still can't act.  The Brits have Keira Knightly, Emma Watson, and Kate Beckinsale--all attractive women who can't act, yet have been in movies ad nauseum.[/quote]
