Webber went on to receive - and retweet - feedback from the acting community. “It’s important for me to share the real pain we endure in this industry.” Originally thought him to be an 8 turns out his 6 or a 7 (at best!) and we can’t have an uggo fucking with our money.“Look, I’m a straight white male so I know my journey has been way less painful in this warped industry, but I’m being recast in a network television show because I’m not handsome enough for the executives,” he wrote Tuesday, the night before Stumptown (working title) was picked up to series.

I give zero fucks what filthy rich executives at huge corporations think about me. She became a radical revolutionary leader.
