Are We Talent?
Tue, 24 Sept 2002, 07:28 pmAs the lovely Jenny McNae pointed out at the judging of the 2002 Youthfest, actors and models have long been called simply 'talent'. Is this acceptable by todays standards? Personally, I do not believe that those of us taking the stage should be refered to as simply as 'the talent', and we do in fact have names. This is similar to pole run a while ago of how actors should be known as, be it their character name right through a 'hey, you'. The question I am putting forward is how should the actors/model/dancers of today be known? Is 'the talent' simply enough?

How very confusing, I think the point of this discussion may have been misunderstood.
Yes, of course actors etc are talented. There is no question as to that. The fact is that an actor is more than a piece of meat with skill. After all everyone is human and deserves a name and recognition in their artistry. Be it for their performing or for their.. carpentry or whatever.
I have tried in vain not to use the word "we" although Tiger's comments on that rather flummoxed me! :)
Have a good day all!
