Thumbs up for Roger Ebert's new TV show:

I think the software for Roger's new voice was done by a company in Edinburgh, Scotland and not in Switzerland. The company is CereProc. They can be found here http://www.cereproc.com Roger's post about it is here. http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100226/PEOPLE/100229986 —Tom Lothian, Corporate Disk Company

Ya' wanna find out who's doing the casting and if there's something in there for you? Get a hold of your "On-Camera" Agent who represents you. Ask for a character breakdown. If you feel you may be right for a part...ask them to submit you if they haven't already. If they haven't a clue as to what you're talking about---GET A NEW AGENT!! Quick!! —Stan Adams, Actor

It's important to note that the survey is for 2008, not last year. So it pre-dates the negative effects of the economic slowdown and consequently not valid for drawing conclusions about the current state of the industry. —Wayne Kubacki, Essanay Studio and Lighting Company
