Reid
from page C7
said. "When they come into the
choral room, they are ready to
work."
DCA students asked Reid
questions about his work and
the entertainment business.
Reid's work has ranged
from acting in the hit WB
series "Sister. Sister" to writing
for shows such as "WKRP in
Cincinnati." Reid's company.
New Millennium Studios, will
produce three television series
with Comcast. He urged the stu
dents to look past current TV
movies where people play
themselves.
"I know you think TV is
something like 'Fear Factor.'
where they eat a worm and
everyone tunes in to see what
they'll do next," Rieid
explained. "Or you think that
because someone can dribble a
ball and gets $77 million they
are heroes. But ask yourself,
what are they truly bringing to
the world? What kinds of
images do they portray?
"Many of you see someone
who goes from making music
videos to starring in a movie,
and you think they are stars.
They are playing themselves.
Let's see them play something
other than themselves. Is Brit
ney Spears an actor or a singer?
I can say she's a dancer and she
can shake her booty with the
best of them.
Of course, tlje subject of
rappers came up.
"Right now the system says
we want to see rappers in gang
ster movies." Reid said. "Some
companies like Break Away
Productions are producing
everything with a gun and gold
teeth on it. Is this the image you
want out there? If you accept
negative images of yourselves,
then others will too. It is your
responsibility to train the con
sumer to broaden his views.
Most actors have never worked
in a facility such as yours. I
urge you to study the business
and take the opportunities pro
vided for you here.
"This is a tough business.
There are 22,000 actors in the
Screen Actors Guild. Only 5
percent of those are making
more than $30,000 a year.
There is more money behind
the camera or becoming a doc
tor. At least you'll be guaran
teed a job."
And even actors have their
problems.
Reid should know. He was
fired from a job in 1997
because he was told he wasn't
black enough.
"I was told this by whites,"
Reid recalled. "Then the man
said, 'Let me show you how
you should act.' I play ball with
them. 1 realized then I had to
take control of my destiny and
give myself the work that
would inspire my people and
me."
