After talking about the new types of acting opportunities that there are out there for actors, I found this article talking about a new day job that a lot of actors are doing: playing faux medical patients. A lot of hospitals actually hire actors to be patients with specified conditions in order to allow their medical students a chance to work on their skills. The article talks about how it is a practice of with-holding and still using purpose in order to be these faux patients. It is the newest way to play sick and still get paid. There are now even conventions where these character actors meet to discuss their techniques, etc. This has even helped actors who have gone on to be in different tv shows and these interactions are all filmed. It's a pretty interesting new sphere to look at.
