Acting hopefuls are homogenized drones

From my limited acting experiences in college, I'm going to be presumptuous and conclude what it requires to be a good actor.

First of all there is the need for a fairly good understanding of a script and, furthermore, the respective culture. Then comes the ability to empathize. Last but not least, there must be buckets of creativity.

The key word is talent. The movie industry is not compulsory education in that it doesn't have to give every dreamer a fair chance; it has the right to select only the best.
