Why aren't there any leading-man roles for a 5' woman larping as a man?



quote:

Elliot Page says he has received NO role offers despite the huge success of “The Odyssey”, and believes being transgender has made it harder for him to get cast as Hollywood still needs to ADAPT

He also opens up about feeling deeply UNCOMFORTABLE while working on Inception and other projects before his transition, but believes his BIGGEST successes are still ahead of him

“I was seen in a certain way before and it’s different now, so maybe there is something to reaching out to people and trying to create projects that way. But it’s a little tricky for me to get cast now, for obvious reasons.”

It's so warped in its world view that it thinks it's acting skills are so extremely valuable, such that every Studio should cast it just because.

I can’t believe you watch this stuff.

I interviewed for a dream job yesterday. There were 5 other people at the table and they all said their pronouns during their introductions. But everyone’s pronouns matched their presentations so idk. The fact that I could have guessed their pronouns without them sharing them left me more confused about why they shared their pronouns in the first place.

Checks out. Only pays 20 grand a year, but you can't put a price on pronouns!

Why does Hollywood need to adapt? What happens if they don't?

This is the problem with these people. They make some dumb-arse mentally defective decision and expect the world to adapt to them.

Maybe because you're crazy.

Maybe it wasn't a great idea to cut off your tits.

Sorry you couldn't get an addadicktome.

I don't feel sorry for you, you dumb shite.

Did you tell them about your exhaustive homeless outreach, or in your case...in-reach?

It’s advocacy, so you might be high balling the salary.

She went from being ridiculously empathetic to being laughably angry. Otherwise, that's a great series. Surprised (not surprised) she got top billing throughout. The rest of the cast ran circles around her.

Massive red flag

Unless it was Google or Apple, that business will go under within a decade because they focus on that stupid shite and probably spend money on it

great question.

They all knew who I am so I didn’t introduce myself in the same way they did.

I didn’t disclose my pronouns… Hope that doesn’t cost me the job.

Just curious, what is the title and responsibilities of this dream job?

I interview pronoun people, because I have to by law, but they immediately go in the rejection category

I have been around some of those types before. I suspect they like “shocking” what they perceive to be small town bigots with their liberalism.

90+% of the work force probably hates Elon Musk because he got their USAID fraudulent funding cut
