This is a very interesting topic. A lot of times I hear people saying Suzie Q can't act to save herself or Joe Schmoe is the worst actor ever, and I always respond with: well some director or producer actually chose that person, so it's their responsibility. That's why I picked Lucas. He looked at thousands of actors for every role and chose who he wanted to work with. He stood on set with them and gave them feedback on how to play the scene. Basically, a great director would not put up with the level of performances Lucas got from his actors.

Actors get fired from film and television all the time if the directors and producers are not satisfied. Eric Stoltz was fired during filming of Back to the Future because he was too intense for comedy. Roseanne's Laurie Metcalf, a 3-time Emmy winner was supposed to be on 24 last season, but they realized she wasn't right for the role. A few of the Home Improvement characters were recast, and two years ago, Days of Our Lives cast an actress so bad that she was off the show after just two weeks.
