I'm about to take that tiny step from being a positive, uplifting blogger on a mission to highlight the awesome people doing exciting work to yet another asshole on the Internet who thinks his opinion matters just because he owns a domain name.
Actually, probably not. Most of what you will read below is written in the spirit of good fun and respect. I like most things and even when I'm critical of them, I have a great deal of appreciation for them as well. The incredibly informative publication Backstage is no exception; they provide a wealth of insanely useful advice on how young actors can make a steady and rewarding professional career that reflects each individual's values, dreams, and goals. I've made major life decisions based on the information I have read from Backstage and it's turned out great.
But they once posted an article in July 2013 entitled "21 Signs You Were Born To Be An Actor", and it popped up again on my New Feed tonight, so naturally, I had to do something. Any article on the Internet that begins its title with the number-of-reasons format immediately elicits a face-palm from me and makes me want to curse BuzzFeed for making this trend of Internet journalism so damn popular.
