WORKING
class actors are being squeezed out of the profession by "posh" actors who can afford to live without a regular wage, according to one of the stars of Downton Abbey.
Rob
James-Collier, who plays Thomas the footman in the ITV period drama, said that
those from privileged backgrounds have the "comfort blanket" of family wealth to fund their ambitions.
He likened the early years of an acting career to other professions in which only
middle-class offspring can afford to do unpaid internships.
“You have to work for a year with no money. How on earth are you going to finance that?” he asked, adding that he had fought hard to make it as a "working
class lad".
His comments coincide with a glut of public school actors appearing on our screens.
Eddie Redmayne (Birdsong), Dominic West (The Wire), Tom Hiddleston (War Horse) and Damien Lewis (Homeland) are all Old Etonians - Redmayne was a contemporary of
Prince William, while West attended school with David Cameron.
Benedict Cumberbatch, star of the BBC’s Sherlock, is an Old Harrovian. Henry Cavill, the British actor cast as Hollywood’s latest Superman, went to Stowe, while Freddie Fox, a member of the Fox acting dynasty and star of the BBC’s Edwin Drood adaptation, was educated at Bryanston.
James-Collier, raised in Stockport by working class parents, told Radio Times that the acting profession is weighted in favour of the rich.
But he said that working in manual jobs to fund his acting dream - he was a bricklayer’s labourer and packed frozen pasties in a factory - spurred him on.
“Because you’ve done the horrible jobs it gives you an even grittier
determination to succeed,” he said.
“If I had a comfort blanket, I wouldn’t have been as passionate and
driven. When you get there, you really do appreciate it because you know where
you have been.”
James-Collier’s parents put him and his siblings through university. Recalling his decision to become an actor, he said: “I’m a working class lad. So at 25 and with no-one in our family having any theatrical inclination, when I said, ‘I’m going to scratch all that and become an actor’, I may as well have said I was going to be a Premiership footballer for the chance I’d have.
“But my mum was always supportive as I think she always saw the spark in
me. My dad gave me a speech about getting a real job in that ‘deep Dad voice’
but he supported me too and I stayed at their house and tried my luck.”
The actor landed his first job in Down to Earth, the BBC One Sunday night drama, before joining Coronation Street. His role as the Machiavellian footman in Downton Abbey has won him a legion of fans.
His co-stars in the Julian Fellowes drama have a broad mix of backgrounds.
Dan Stevens, who plays Downton heir Matthew Crawley, was educated at Tonbridge
School and Cambridge but points out that he was a scholarship boy and not born
of privilege.
He told the Telegraph last year: “I came out of the wash, I suppose, appearing to be much more upper class than I really am. But when people accuse me of being really posh, I think, ‘Hang on a minute - no, I’m not!’”
Michelle Dockery speaks in cut-glass tones as Lady Mary, but in real life she is the daughter of a former lorry driver and has said: “Lady Mary would never have
talked to me - I’d have been in service.”
Last year, Benedict Cumberbatch said he was typecast on account of his upbringing. “I was brought up in a world of privilege. It can ostracise you from normal codes of conduct in society. Being a posh actor in England, you can’t escape
class-typing, from whatever side you look at it,” he said.

饼没细看,大意好像是说缺的成功是因为他出身好,
然后举了很多别的演员的例子,说明好出身会更容易成功
@四月紫罗兰 来补充~~

我觉得这篇报道蛮扯的啊
可能腐国人真的蛮在乎出身这件事的,至少我去找我喜欢的腐国演员的资料,总会不遗余力地写人家是出身在哪里甚至还要标明是什么社区,上的什么学之类
但是我也没见的这文里列出来的那些高级公学出来的演员们有什么特别成功啊!
Eddie Redmayne (Birdsong), 不认识,查了下作品表最出名的算是最近的《我和玛丽莲梦露的一周》吧。。。
Dominic West (The Wire), 不认识,据说是演员和制片人【腐国演员大都身兼这些功能,我们家LT还是演员、导演、制片和经纪人呢】
Tom Hiddleston (War Horse),终于来了个我知道的了,软妹!抖森!好像去年年底有一个什么神话片吧满多GN吃他的。。。
Damien Lewis (Homeland),前有《兄弟连》,现有《Homeland 国土安全》,算很红么……兄弟连的fangirl可能比较爱他。。。
Henry Cavill,可怜的娃,我是看都铎王朝认识他的,真帅也真衰。。。HP里面的塞德里克和暮光里的的爱德华据说原本也都考虑过他的,结果最后都给了嫩牛五方,你就这么没有制片人缘么亲!!!现在你还衰到要去演超人啊!!!超人诅咒听说过没有啊亲!!!
至于我们可爱的缺妞,哈罗公学出身又怎么样?还不是奶奶付的大部分学费!表演第一年还要去香水店打工挣钱!Sherlock Star又怎样?35了啊!!!难道说他不是哈罗公学出身的话得等到40+才能红吗???何况人家大学读的是曼大啊!!!highclass你的头啊!!!
至于最后一段话,我不知道是不是缺妞的原话。。。
