Can One Act Without Perfect Teeth?

To be clear, I was specifically referring to this part of the original post:

Unless one is playing a homeless man, Ugly Betty, or a silent character?

Certainly a person can ACT with bad teeth. The ROLE the person ends up in is something else.
 
YES... what kind of question is that? Sorry... but some of the best actors in the world don't have much that is "perfect"... the whole thing is "will it be interesting enough?" and often "non-perfect" are deeper wiser and more interesting... so if all you care about is physical beauty and don't care about all of the other forms of beauty then I guess no is the answey, but all you have to do is rent a few acclamated award winning movies and you will find that not everyone is "beautiful"... sorry if you don't like the tone of my answer but I am pissed of at the question... period. I'll try to stay away from this thread so that I don't end up saying something that get's me banned. DON'T PERPETRATE SHALLOW HOLLYWOOD... BREAK THE MOLD!
 
You can try and break the mold all you want, and yeah... good luck. But the fact is, and always will be, Hollywood is a very shallow town...

But, as was mentioned, characters can get away with a lot more... they can have bad teeth, bad hair, they can be fat, they can have only one arm... they're not trying to get the "leading man" or "leading woman" roles.

There's NOTHING wrong with being a character actor...
 
Listen I am not insane either, just passionate... so you can also get a patched eye on legged fat hairy sweaty lead and add a bunch of other people around them too... there are no rules, just a balance... and that also doesn't mean that you need ANY "beautiful" people in your project... all you need is for your project to be beautifull... will it be harder to get people to watch it? sure... are you trying to make some quick cash? get some bimbos to fight half naked on areality show... I say you join me in trying to make movies that are deeper than that, and by all means, get "beautiful" people in them, I do too, but look for more than that... what I am furious is that someone would question if non "beautiful" people are out of the game... OF COURSE NOT, no way... and there are TONS AND TONS of movies that prove that... there are no dumb questions but there are not always nice answers... that is just retarded... sorry... act in your own movie man... and if you want to make it better add a little depth to it by making a nice example where "beautifull" people envy "ugly" people for their achievements, wisdom, etc...........................................................
 
I think the beautiful people do better on television, honestly... There are a LOT of people that have had (and have) very good careers despite not being extremely good looking...

These people surely aren't ugly, but they're not the best looking...

1) Tobey Maguire
2) Shai Lebuff (whatever)
3) Harrison Ford
4) Susan Surandon
5) Meryl Streep

And they're all considered "leading" types...
 
I never said that "beautiful" people can't be beautiful on the inside... don't know if you thought I said that, but just to clarify... by no means do I believe that... Julia Roberts is AWESOME in my book, and on top of that she is quite beautiful... no need to give examples, but I hope everyone understands my point here... otherwise I will feel severely dissapointed on the DVXuser member base tonight...

How does this add "depth"? It's only pushing one agenda ("ugly") over another ("beautiful").

And Tommy, they might not be your type, but I would say the majority of women would disagree with you on your male actor choices. I wont argue with the female choices, though. But I'm REALLY shallow. I put one arbitrary trait over others.
 
I am prety sure it isn't just my agenda, but something a little more, say... moraly correct, to treat people equaly... meaning we should not only be attracted to people with markers of good health genes or what not but also of capabilities to help evolve or just plain help humanity...? I can see that you may not like my tone, but do you serioulsy not see my point Gage?
 
I see your point. I dont agree with it.

...moraly correct, to treat people equaly...

You are not talking about treating people equally. You are talking about making "ugly" people MORE equal. It's asthetic affirmative action. And it's wrong. It is no more right to put "pretty" people in the backseat than it is to put "ugly" people there.

And yes, that is what you said to do.

...and if you want to make it better add a little depth to it by making a nice example where "beautifull" people envy "ugly" people...

did I say that that is the only way to add depth to a movie?!?! listen gage, you are treating me like I am guilty of something here and you are rying to find it... you are wrong... completely.

so explain myself to you: I don't want to make ugly people MORE equal... I want to offset what Hollywood has done... how are you going to try to flip that one on me now...

the reason I am pissed is that if you ask a question you are stating that there is a chance that the answer may be no

Why do i feel like everyone is at each others throats on this threat?


maybe try to get your teeth fixed. if you can't do that, act none-the-less. make your own monologue videos and post them on youtube or your own website and go to as many auditions as possible. And I do mean as many as possible. keep an eye out for everything including roles as extras, short films, and student films. You never know where that may lead.

Good luck!
 
The reason I quote posts is so that I cannot be accused of flipping words. I am responding directly to your words.

If they are not what you meant, dont fault me. I'm only responding to your words.

That aside, you are still proposing to boost one group over another. And that is discrimination.


...listen gage, you are treating me like I am guilty of something here...

I'm not treating you like you are guilty of anything, I'm only disagreeing with what you are saying.
