Sounds good - they are both poor actors. I do feel a bit sorry for them, though.

Nothing to do with the fact that he can't act for toffee and is as wooden as a my coffee table.

Well yes there is that but he is a very young actor and he probably thinks he is doing his best...

There is far worse than him on the show

It must be devastating for a child to be told they're not good enough and their job is being given to someone else.

It all depends I should think on how you tell him. Presumably he is getting paid a fair bit and he is in the BBC's flagship drama series. Whilst it probably is devastating for a young actor to be told that, the BBC also has a duty to its viewers and license fee payers. If they don't think he's good enough he can't just be kept on because he's young.

Harsh but true Parkerman.

See both sides of this... He is not good enough and can't be kept but still.. if you were working and you thought you were doing a good job, then your boss says, we are letting you go, but not your position.. you would feel like crap, no matter how he put it...
