A friendly reminder on a common term! "Cast" never "casted"

I've been seeing a huge uptick in younger actors, particularly if English is not their first language, using the term "casted". This is not a real term and can make you look green in an audition or networking setting. No shame in using it, but now you know!...

Finished The Tudors on Netflix back in August and in 1 episode some actors were rehearsing and this included being trained by an actual master of a rapier looking sword for the fight scenes. So I am curious esp since modern theatre gets the hack all the time...

I've read some really good scripts lately from students but one thing I've noticed is they often have unnecessary make out/sex/ nude scenes that come out of nowhere. One script I thought was terrific and then at the very end the woman ends up naked in a...
