Naively assumed once a screenplay had been written, would somehow always have a pool of local actors. Feels strange to imagine it could someday be zero.

Loved him on Fringe.
The economics of movies, tv etc are changing. If the Warner Bros purchase goes through it will only get worse. The debt load the acquiring company will have will increase pressure on actor paydays. And let’s not forget who is controlling the company. It will be ugly.
