I think what I’m saying is lost in translation (foreigner) . I am not saying people without connections at Brown or anywhere, in any field of work, won’t make it. And I’m DEFINITELY not saying some children of celebs aren’t talented because that would be ludicrous of me. There are many cases like that boy you speak of, @alwaysamom . You don’t need connections in this business to make it, but it would be quite ignorant of me or you or anyone to say that who you know doesn’t matter because it does.

I’m not trying to put down schools especially not Brown which everyone knows is a fabulous institution. However, 75% of CC is full “denigrative” threads talking about which schools are the best. Even though a CMU is known for producing great actors there is sure as hell great actors coming out of schools no one has ever heard of, which I am completely aware of.

I’m sorry if anyone thinks what I have to say is “mean-spirited” but it is my opinion.

Actors (or anyone in a tough field of work) w/o connections, like minorities (which I am) in this world, have to work ten times harder to reach the amount of success that some people are given on a silver platter.

These are my views and I’m sticking to them.
