<p>If you look at the showcase websites for most "top-tier acting programs generally most of the actors and actresses will be strikingly attractive. I believe this is for many reasons. Firstly, I think many attractive people do well in acting from a very young age and are cast in parts due to the fact that they are attractive. This gives them confidence, and an abundance of roles and opportunities. Secondly, this is a business. These programs look to train actors and actresses who will get jobs. In many cases, talent levels equal and casting can be based on looks. Of course they accept character actors too. I am by no means a chiseled averaged height leading man and I was accepted into acting programs. But if you look at television today, you do have your Josh Gads, but I find that the majority of actors, and particularly actresses on TV, are super attractive people. It’s just the way it is.</p>
