Why do actors get blacklisted in the first place?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. If you're an actor, you'll probably get rejected a lot. But it doesn't matter because eventually, you'll find someone who loves you.
Actors are typically very talented and can earn a living virtually anywhere. Actors aren't always interested in making a living. Actors love acting and storytelling. So if you're an actor, chances are you're going to put yourself out there.
Sometimes, auditions are cancelled because you are either too young or too old for the job. You may also be rejected from a movie audition. This happens all the time.
However, once you have been cast, it is possible to face criticism. You may be told that your makeup is too heavy or you are not worthy of wearing it. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes, your performance as a fictional character can be ridiculed. Perhaps you're a gay man who everyone believes is straight. Or maybe you play a woman who is supposed to be tough, but she cries a lot.
Sometimes, they ask you to change your voice. Sometimes, they want you to sound more like a man or a woman. They want you to sound better most of the time.
It is best to ignore these criticisms. Actors can feel like they have failed when they are told they did something wrong. They haven't done any wrong.
They were not born with the talent that would make them famous. And sometimes, no matter how hard they try, they don't fit the bill.
An actor can be blacklisted for many reasons. Some people don't like actors. Others feel that actors are lazy. Others believe actors cheat.
It doesn't matter what reason it may be, you won’t be banned if you keep trying. There are many roles available, and you will find them.
If you persevere, you will eventually succeed.
