I think i big place ageism is present is in hollywood. every new movie or tv series that comes out casts the young energetic people to play the most important roles and you only see people over 40 or 50 cats as a grandparent or an older figure that doesnt play a vital role. I believe that everyone should get a fair chance in hollywood because if someone is older and has been in the industry longer theres a chance that they better equppied to do the job and they have more experience. I actually feel that alot of the younger new actors arent tht good and all the new tv series that are coming out just suck because the actors arent even good or they seem so fake it just ruins the show.

I completely agree. The younger generation of actors has a very limited amount of experience that older Hollywood has. There are obviously differences in the time, but Old Hollywood has a sense of ingenuity that the newer generation seems to miss out on.
