Question: Is the 'Casting Couch' a danger for wannabee actor young men as well as women!? Maybe it doesn't exist any more!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Some people have become famous because of the 'casting couch' despite their lack of talent!. The three that comes to mind for me are Sarah Brightmant, Elaine Paige, and Linda Eder!.

Sure, it's not supposed to happen, but to say that it doesn't happen for big Broadway shows is just naive!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is a major danger of a lawsuit now, but you never know!. I'm sure it still does exist in some places!. As long as you just keep your head in the audition and not in the bedroom, you should be ok!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think in legitmate shows and productions it doesn't exist anymore - who would risk the law suit!?

But dodgy things you read about in the back of the paper!.!.!. who knows!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
