There are so many channels and actors out there these days and they feel overwhelmed by it all, making it difficult for viewers to choose their own options. Competition for actors is fierce these days. You have to act, sing, dance and look good – all at the same time to get considered. If you don’t do anything special, you will be replaced quickly. “
