It's an easy game not to play. The pool of talent wanting to be in film is incredibly large - when Iived there it felt like half of LA was trying to make it in the entertainment business. Even the LA Police have casting leave written into their contracts in case they pick up a part. So yes, the system is exploitative. But every person there is willingly playing that game using the cards they have available to them. Most of them lose.

    Yeah. You have a large number of attractive and poor people trying to get prestigious roles and a few gatekeepers who know they can get what they want from at least some of them.
