----------------------------Original message---------------------------- I am a member of the "front lines" actors of which you speak having made my living solely from acting for the past 18 years. In my experience, each actor does seem to have a line drawn in the sand over which they will not go. But sometimes I have run into an actor who says that ethical decisions play no part in their acceptance of a role. They argue that an actor's job is to portray what is placed before him and that his beliefs are irrelevant. I usually ask such people to go and see MEPHISTO.
