That is so crazy to me. I went to a prestigious performing arts high school here in NYC, and the theater majors were only second to the dance majors in terms of looks. The school barely had any hams at all (mostly in my major, vocal music) and the few that there were knew their place at the bottom of the totem pole. When you grow up around actual high level theater, you see that none of the people who are working are fat. Not one. So the people serious about it know what they have to look like to achieve their dreams.
