I can’t believe the amount of unprofessionalism I’m just really well trained and I’ve been on sets my whole life. I just can’t believe the behavior of the actors in this town that are actually working they come to set they don’t know their lines. You should have your lines down so much so that if the actor directs if the Director directs you you can change The way your character is but have your lines down and any actor that tries to change the script you ain’t the writer you’re hired to do a job as a character you don’t get to change the script you don’t get to tell the Director what to do you don’t get to tell the DP what to do I have never been around so many unprofessional actors that are constantly asking for lines. How could you even ask for one line? I don’t understand I’m like I must be an away different level than everybody else because I can’t even believe the behavior people don’t know their actions they don’t know what they did when they said what they did they don’t stop talking when they’re on set they tell the Director what to do they tell the DP what to do it’s on real it boggles my mind I just can’t believe it. How rude these people are. They think it’s all about them they don’t. They don’t want to be there in the scene when it’s your turn cut to go on camera there’s such arrogant pieces of shit in this fucking town. I can’t even believe the behavior from the actors in this town I just can’t. It is so sad so pathetic and you want to be a professional actor but you can’t even show up to sit on time and know your lies and you have to do your monologue 500 times over again what the fuck is wrong with you? Wow I am just dumbfounded by the people in the actors in this town.
