Ask someone who works in a hollywood talent agency....

[saintvitus07]

The most depressing interview I have ever been through was with a talent agency. By the time the guy had finished his speech about why I would hate the job I was just like...." 

." I couldn't even pretend like I really wanted it, and I don't know how I would have survived on that insanely meager pay. The rewards were conceivably great, but wow. More power to you though, OP. Let us know if you make it through the ranks. Getting out of the mail room must have felt like finishing a prison sentence.

^^^my old boss told me they try to scare you in the interview, its all the test to see if you really want it. If you don't you will be gone in a week. I see it every single week, someone just snaps and storms out haha, we take bet on the new kids on how long they will last!
you made a wise choice my man.

Since most television shows and movies are not taped before a live audience, how much talent must one really possess to make it? I know with live theatre you have to be good.

Well, you still have to be a pretty good actor (or have mass appeal) to continually get good work. Nobody's going to want to waste 3 days to film one scene.

Id say non black minorities are the hardest on screen, business side any race is hard but all minorities have a tough time.
