I feel like there is nothing wrong with taking it back to the old days where an artist did not limit you to one medium. Versatility pays the bills for artists. At the same time, when an artist wants to crossover into a different medium, it should be done right. There is nothing fair about a trained actor losing out on a job because the competition had a platinum album or the most downloaded ringtone. There should be a certain level of respect. It annoys me to no end when some random singer or rapper decides their life should be made into a movie starring them (50 cent and the God awful Lifetime movie about Fantasia).
In every profession there is a loop hole that leads to the top. Whether it's the boss' daughter, son, niece, nephew, next door neighbor (you see where I'm going with this), there is always someone who manages to slip in the back door. For trained actors this is a bad thing. Marketing and shortcuts are taking their shine. I say fight back. Give these people a reason to want you and not Beyonce......or maybe cut a record I don't know lol.
