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?

Um...Well, as I have both stated my theory as to why OTHERS don't like being called talent, and also proclaimed that I myself have no problem with being called it; I guess I have argued both sides, and so if I WERE whingeing (..?) it must be about nothing.
But I'm not quite sure how you get these impressions of yours, nor how to follow the non-consecutive threads you post them under...? Are you disagreeing with anything I've said?

Nope. I think I've made it clear I DON'T care. That was my point, wasn't it?
Go on, call me the worst sort of barnacle you can think of.
