+153 You have a prejudice towards actors that they're less intelligent than average, amirite?

should there be something between "that" and "they're"?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No, it's saying that the prejudice is that they are (Contraction) unintelligent.

Unless they're British.

Well yeah... why else would they be actors? Or need some random guy telling them what to say or need a lawyer to speak for them, so they don't ruin their lives every time they speak on their own?

I know. What's your point?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

you said everyone has a prejudice that actors are dumb, and the majority of people agreed.. now i'm not saying it's like this for all actors, i'm just saying that I, and many of my friends, are capable of straight A's

I understand that. (On a side note, how can you be an actor and also be in school?) As I said, the key word is prejudice. Similar to a stereotype, except it's not necessarily the majorities' perception. I'm not saying that all actors are dumb, and I'm not saying that everyone has a prejudice that actors are dumb. I'm saying that I have a prejudice towards actor that the average actor is more stupid that the average person, and, in the statement, asking if others do too. 75% of the voters do.

I'm just saying that not all actors ARE dumb, and well some of them are, I and my peers are not. Also, it's not like I'm famous.. I'm mainly in theatre anyway, which works around school schedules.

But I meaning acting as a career, and I know not all actors are dumb. That's obvious.
