FAQ
Why do actors get blacklisted in the first place?
As an actor, rejection is much more common than for writers. You will likely be rejected many times if you are an actor. It doesn't matter if you get rejected a lot because eventually you'll meet someone you love.
Actors have a lot of talent, so they can make a decent living almost anywhere. Most actors don't care about making money. Actors love to act and tell stories. It's likely that you will be acting if your passion is acting.
Sometimes you may be told by the audition panel that you are too young, too old, or wrong for the role. You might also lose your audition for a film role. It happens all the time.
But once you've been cast, you may also face criticism. People may tell you that your makeup looks terrible and you shouldn't use it. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes it's because you play a character that's not realistic or authentic. You might play a gay man and everyone assumes that you are straight. You might play a tough woman, but she is very emotional.
Or maybe you're asked to change your voice. Sometimes, they want you to sound more like a man or a woman. Most of the time, however, they want to hear better.
Negative criticisms are best ignored. Actors can feel like they have failed when they are told they did something wrong. But the truth is that they haven't done anything wrong.
They just weren't born with the talent that made them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
There are lots of reasons why an actor could get blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Some people think actors are lazy. Some actors may be cheaters.
Whatever your reason, it doesn't matter. You won't get blacklisted for trying. There are plenty of roles out there, and you'll find them.
You will eventually succeed if you keep trying.
What are the darkest secrets of Hollywood?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Many secret societies are cult-like and follow rigid rules. Others are just clubs for people with common interests.
But there are also more nefarious organizations that control much of the industry. These include the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the organization that sets film ratings and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the company that sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions or guilds also represent producers, writers, actors, etc. The majority of major television networks and movie studios are owned by large corporations.
It is obvious that, no matter how secretive or obtuse a group appears, someone knows exactly what they do. However, we shouldn't fear them.
Instead, we should embrace these facts. Because they provide us with information that helps us make better decisions.
These experts tell us which movies are most likely to succeed, which songs will be in demand, and what books will sell the best.
They allow us to make informed decisions about what we buy, watch and listen to.
We can trust our advisors and ignore advice that isn't in accord with our tastes.
Because we have chosen to ignore their power, they are even more powerful. They become the ultimate arbiters of taste.
They can be ignored if you don’t like what they have to say.
So now let's look at some of the lesser-known but still very real Hollywood secret societies.
And see why they're so important.
What is one of the most amazing facts about the human body
We have two eyes and two ears, two nostrils each, four limbs, four limbs and a penis. That's right, we have more than 50 parts of our bodies, but one thing is missing. A heart.
A heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout the body. The blood flows through the veins and arteries to carry oxygen and nutrients to the cells.
The heart pumps out about 5 liters per minute. This is equivalent in daily coffee consumption to an adult who consumes approximately 2 to 3 cups.
The blood flows throughout the heart 24/7, 365 days a calendar. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
Color of your skin is a good indicator of whether someone is healthy. If you examine the skin closely, you will see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These small vessels carry blood from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
People suffering from sickle cell disease have no red blood cells. Patients with sickle cell disease have their blood become sticky and harden, leading to severe illness.
A bandage can be used to stop bleeding if you have cut your own skin. For wounds to heal properly, blood must flow. Doctors place a needle in the wound and insert it through the skin. This allows the blood from the injured area to drain.
Doctors may also insert catheters (catheters), in an artery to treat a blood clot. This helps to keep the patient alive until the blood clot disintegrates naturally.
What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
The answer may shock you. You might be uncomfortable with the truth of it, as it may challenge your perception of reality. However, there's a reason for this place to exist. It's not what we would expect.
It was also called the City of God in ancient Greek. It was also called the City of Destruction in the Bible.
In India, it's called Kashi (Kashmir). In Russia, it's called Novgorod.
It's called The Town That Has Disappeared here in America.
A small community of 1200 people in western New York State vanished. It was abandoned without any remains, including no bodies, cars, or houses. The only thing that survived was a road sign, which pointed to its former location.
This tiny town vanished without any trace. Some say the earth swallowed it up. Some claim it was destroyed by a meteorite impact. Others believe that aliens took it.
Regardless of what happened, residents of this once-thriving town are certain that their town won't be forgotten forever. They just moved to another city.
Even a website exists to help track down the disappearances of the lost city Zugspitz.
So, where exactly did this town go? It's in Switzerland.
Zugspitze is situated on the border between Germany und Austria. Lake Zugspitze lies just above the summit of the mountain.
It has always fascinated my that so many towns have disappeared but others still exist. Why does some vanish while others remain? I set out to find out.
I was interested in learning more about these mysterious towns that are disappearing. What makes a town disappear? What makes a place disappear?
There are many theories regarding the phenomenon of towns disappearing. One theory is that a city disappears after all buildings have been demolished. Another theory holds that the town simply relocates to another location. Another theory suggests that the town has never existed.
No matter what theories you may have, there is no doubt that many towns across the globe were swallowed by the ground. This video looks into the history of those places and investigates their current status.
