If speaking well and moving well and having a literate mind are considered "artsy" and "elite requirements" for being an actor, then so be it. Ring the bell, close the book and quench the candle. Acting as an artform has officially lost its soul.
On another note... does it not strike a chord with anyone else that when the word "artsy" is used, it has the same implied dirty derogative connotation that "socialism" or "feminism" or "liberal" has taken on by "those who shall remain nameless"?
