No offense to these lovely ladies, but everyone in the world knows that Latinas are hot and where are they at these shows. Some are light skinned yes, but we need more healthy tanned women. The pale unhealthy look makes me ill to look at over and over again! My friend is a print model, latina and gorgeous!

I also enjoyed meeting Alan Nusbaum at the tvi actors studio sample day of classes in Chicago last fall. He was very infomative about what to expect in the industry.

When was the last time you ever went on an audition, or was on a real set as an actor, director, producer, anything? You are not listed once in IMDB, why is that? The story sounds like a sales pitch for your "schools" what a laugh. You are an insult to working actors. So tell us Alan, what kind of real training have you had?

I feel I can't afford the time it would take go get formally trained, so I just jumped in everywhere I could from community theatre to the local improv group. I feel like a fish out of water at times, but everybody is really nice and I've learned a lot the last couple of years. And when I say can't afford the time, I guess part of that comes from seeing the successful actors that are my age. They started in their early twenties and it took them several years to reach the level that they have. I'm not getting any younger and if I want to reach that level, it's going to take time and paying my dues and I'd rather start now than later.

They're selfish and are making it harder for their fellow actors to make a living. Not only that, but the advantages and "great non-union work" is vastly overstated.
