I'm finding that the American public often forgets that all sort of industries including Hollywood, fast food, professional sports exist for the sake of PROFIT, not artistry, nutrition, competitive sports, etc. When we keep that in mind we make much better choices.

Thanks for the comment. That's why I wrote the book. There's a lot of stuff that, had I known it sooner, could have saved me lots of time and pain. I hope it helps you. TRL You’re welcome, Michael.

Powell Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:53:24 +0000 http://www.trlocke.com/?p=384#comment-306 I agree with Tr's answer 100%... and not because I'm a friend of his. There is a mainstream belief that "Hollywood" is a very liberal institution, but this is far from the truth. "Hollywood" is a business (as opposed to a non-profit), and business owners tend to be mid to right, politically speaking. Why?... because they need to protect their coporation which is usually an agenda of the right. To that point, if your expression (expression, not belief) of your politic or religious views radically affect your ability to work with people (producers, studio, crew, cast, etc.) or cause your audience to turn on you, you may have some problems. (remember when Paramount cut ties with Tom Cruise? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/14472455/) Stephen I agree with Tr’s answer 100%… and not because I’m a friend of his.
