Its probably stating the obvious to say that this "action purge" workaround is not an acceptable solution in anything exceeding the immediate short term. This needs to get fixed. Hardly any pages work anymore for me.

You're joking, right? Which of these is at all equivalent to the star of The Amazing Spider-man and the star of Thor and a star of the Avengers? The only one who has actually had real success in that list in movies is Dustin Hoffman, and the zenith of his career was decades ago. Point proved man, yeah, well done! :) (and don't be so dramatic)

No, those others are 100% right. Seriously, nothing is a more gigantic waste of time in casting discussions than watching people endlessly propose people that will never be on television. "Severely underetimate the professional opinion and esteem that HBO productions carries" - ok then, why don't you name a single actor in a single HBO show who was in a blockbuster A-list film before he went to the show? Seriously man, it comes off as fantasy. Even if their agent fell and hit their head and decided "yeah, going from blockbuster films to television won't harm your future job prospects" (its supposed to be the other way around!) how much do you think they would ask in salary? Enough of these frankly delusional casting proposals.
