If I had a good director, great script, and a group of good actors - in a heartbeat. I'd feel so safe with them that nothing else would cross my mind.

I agree as an actor it does seem like the most liberating thing one can do. I'm not apposed to it at all. It would just have to be the right situation and the right show. Screw artistic integrity. It would just have to feel right to me which basically means it would have to be completely obscene and inappropriate.
I would definitely if it was appropriate. In the current London production of Cabaret - it has really split people, but I absolutely LOVE it - there is the most intelligent and beautiful of use of nudity which really enhances the show.

Please provide me with: the context of why full frontal nudity is necessary, what it adds to the plot, how are we lighting the scene, who am I working with, and please give me a 14 days to crash diet and eliminate white flour and poor snacking habits. Oh and it's a definite no-no if it's going to be on film.
PS: Please keep the people I know out of the theater.
Considering I didn't have breasts or pubic hair when my parents bathed and changed me, I'm pretty sure there's plenty they've not seen before. :P
I'd also like to add "if it's essential to the script" to my earlier comment. I wouldn't just whip it all off for money and because everyone else was, there'd need to be a valid point too. XD
I'd do it for anything that was required. As, an actor your body is your tool. Why should you be ashamed of it? So, yea I would do Naked Boys Singing or a naked version of The Sound of Music.
Now in addition to dance captain and fight captain, there will be fluffer.

As much as I'd like to think I'm a mature, creative artist (ha!), I have to be honest & say that I'd probably turn down doing full-frontal nudity. It would really affect my ability to concentrate on my lines, character, etc. I'd probably be willing to strip down to my boxers, but that's the most I'd go to.
