Maybe we could help you figure out why no one ever hires you.

Divine ate dog poop onscreen and his career took off! So people just need to make some lemonade.
Why yes, there are a couple of people on this board who are positive and helpful, PRS. I'd probably PM them directly for any advice should I ever need it.
Back to the topic.

ya see, I never believed that IMDB's ages were necessarily accurate. Who knows where they get them from.
That's because you use your brain, Jane. Lots of agents/cd's don't think too much about anything beyond looks and IMDB stats.
"That's because you use your brain, Jane."
I'd like to believe that, NYgirl, thanks!
No, you were using her name creatively to describe many, many people. Cute, if straying off topic.
I'll post my imdb page

No, I actually wasn't.
And what is the topic? That everyone is conspiring against you to make sure you never get cast?
ETA - Clever name, you gonna get banned for that!

Oh, you sound mad. Do you hate being called cute?
Hm, I thought there'd be more actors on this board.

Not mad at all. No one cut me off in line or hired a celebrity to to the voiceover work I thought I was entitled to, though, so why should I be mad?

The actors mostly stay on the main board, and usually don't want to out themselves anyway. The off-topic board is where people chat and screw around.

Maybe they're too busy actually having acting jobs, because they're not withering crones.
I thought the main board was only for Bwy show topics, so I wasn't sure. Updated On: 2/13/10 at 10:49 PM

"Or maybe they just don't care."
Not true at all in my experience, Phyl. I know a lot of actors (mostly Broadway ones) unhappy about the Imdb and Ibdb situation as well. Mostly because it's a site notorious for all sorts of errors, never mind the dob thing. And it is true that agents often just look at the year of birth and not the person, and automatically rule out actors as a result.
Also, there just aren't a lot of actors (that I know, anyway) that take BWW seriously, and those who visit at all mostly stick to the main board and seldom post.

It's sad that I have a sharp memory? I would hate to live in your world, toots.
For what it's worth, the waiting in line thread is why I remember you in the first place, and you have bitched about celebrity voice work more than a few times.
But yeah, it's me that's sad. Okeydokey.
Yes, sad. But, your memory can't retrieve a single time I was abusive or nasty to anyone on this board, because it's never happened. Something you cannot say for yourself. So yeah, you're sad.
Thank you, ghostlight. I wish actors would post here more often.

Actors are rarely going to post here, and you're seeing for yourself just exactly why - makes you an easy target.
Some sad, pathetic souls can't handle internet anonymity. Too bad. They get in the way.
Actors can simply post generally about things, and use PM when needed.
Have any actors you know tried to do anything about the situation, ghostlight?
