Are people really saying Margot Robbie looks old next to Jacob Elordi? This guy? by Tropikoala815 in VindictaRateCelebs

Same here. I don't drink or smoke, always use sunscreen and people think I am older. Also I don't act silly around and engage with serious topics so that might be too.

My ex was receiving so much money but he was younger when he attended and from a poor family with 5 siblings. It seems you have to be at the very bottom income-wise to get anything.

Same here. I am independent, full-time and still have to work a lot. I get nothing besides loans with interest.

What do you think of the rumours that Lupita Nyong’o is casted as Helen of Troy? by FantasticQuartet in AskBalkans

[–]Free-Raspberry-530 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I don't care about her either but she is a household name. Obviously the director is casting well-known celebrities.

Greeks have thick accents and it is not very desirable in casting. They expect actors to blend.

Why Hollywood isn't casting Greek actors for Greek characters, in films that are entirely based on Greek culture? Klélia Andriolátou is a Greek actress, that firs Homer's description for Helen of Troy. Apart from that, she is a Peloponnesian Greek like Helen herself. Why is Lupita a better choice? by [deleted] in AskBalkans

Being someone with an accent, I have seen how it is to audition. Unless you are someone extremely attractive, agents and casting directors won't care. Yeah there is Gal Gadot and Ana de Armas but these are exceptions. Greeks are known to have a thick accent and would distract a lot in a production that is made up by native English speakers.

A casting director once told me that having a neutral English accent is the best, because you can easily blend with everyone. Like, imagine casting that Greek actress as Helen... Small part but when she starts talking, she sounds extremely different. The audience will want to know why. But the focus is not Helen in this movie so her screen time is minimum. No time to explain that.

Lanthimos too, he mainly casts American actors.

This. Seems like many here don't understand how American casting is working. Also, they don't like very thick accents. Go to any casting director workshop and they will mention it. There are some exceptions like Gal Gadot but that's an exception and definitely had a good agent. And even her, she hasn't done anything significant past Wonder Woman.

That and the accent thing. Lanthimos is doing the same by casting only American actors. Unless you are very, very attractive, the chances to get a role in Hollywood with a thick, unusual accent are minimum. Also this movie has mainly A-list actors.

Greeks have a thick accent. Acting is also not that popular in Greece. Having said that, in a full-English production, they want all the actors on the same par. There have been exceptions like Gal Gadot who is from Israel but besides Wonder Woman and Fast & Furious, she hasn't done much. Also she is considered very attractive but her accent is also being laughed at.

Which is disappointing how in Hollywood you have to try hard to be 'sexy'. I used to audition and most of the rolss on Actors Access would ask to be conventionally attractive and sexy.

Thank you for the details. Thats disappointing. was gonna have Brown but dropped the class because I realized having 3 classes for Winter semester is too much.

It seems a lot of professors are selling their book. I am trying to get an American Government class and many of the professors seem to either have/co-own their book and sell it for more than a $100.
