Beanies, any examples of actors whose talents are wasted because they are managed by agencies that make bad production choices? Thoughts? How does choosing production actually work for an actor?
There would be a bunch of factors on how choosing the production would work. It would depend on how famous the actor is, their manager/managing company, their talent (or lack of), connections within the industry, timing, the director (and the control or lack of control he/she has in casting), etc. Most beginning actors don’t really have a choice and they take what they can get, hoping that it will be their break-out role where they have more offers they can choose from.

Thanks! That’s so complicated, as expected.
