The scene in Once Upon where he is low key rubbing Leo's nose in his failures is one of the best scenes in the whole movie

I don't think that nepotism is really the correct word but if you look at the names of people working today, whether it's as an actor, producer, director, composer, et al, it's easy to see the same names over and over again. "Connected" people have a distinct advantage over "outsiders", not only because of their family name and connections but due to the proper education and exposure that helps them to succeed. For example, if your Dad is a producer or director or actor, he'll know exactly which program and/or professors at USC, UCLA or NYU are best suited for your abilities, which is why so many of these graduates find work before they graduate. The Vanderbilt's have always been connected and I think that it's common knowledge that Anderson Cooper is a Vanderbilt as well. |

I'm guessing that James Vanderbilt has that lineage as well? Man. Nothing can hold up against generational wealth.

Even setting connections aside, it's a huge advantage just to have a family that can pay for acting school and financially support you in the early part of your career.

No argument from me about connections. As a guy that doesn’t have very many, I get it. |

I did the ancestry thing. My Dad to his Dad to his Dad etc. signed the Declaration of Independence. One of the richest men in America before he supported the revolution. The British took it all. So my bloodline was something 250 years ago.

I've tried to stay out of the political stuff with regards to Carano's firing, and I may have missed someone posting the following, but I think this merits inclusion in the thread.
