Answer to Question 1

This is both true and not true. It's certainly not true about most of the people
who control the financing of movies. The majority of producersextending from the
mighty moguls of the big-studio era to those who bankroll today's industrytend to
be politically conservative. On the other hand, the creative artists of the industry
actors, writers, and many directorstend to lean left-of-center.

Answer to Question 2

The four categories of film acting are:
1. Extras. These actors are used primarily to provide a sense of a crowdas in a
cast of thousands. Players of this type are used as camera material, like a
landscape or a set.
2. Nonprofessional performers. These are amateur players who are chosen not
because of their acting ability, which can be negligible, but because of their
authentic appearancethey look right for a given part.
3. Trained professionals. These stage and screen performers are capable of playing a
variety of roles in a variety of styles. The majority of actors fall into this category.
4. Stars. These are famous performers who are widely recognized by the public.
Their drawing power is one of the main attractions of a film or stage play. The
star system was developed and has been dominated by the American cinema,
though it's hardly unique to movies. Virtually all the performing artsopera,
dance, live theater, television, concert have exploited the box-office popularity of
a charismatic performer.
