  ...
  Sklar spent most of his 90-minute lecture dispelling myths for succeeding in show business.He said the kids who get hired tend to be the healthiest and happiest.
  
  "As soon as I realized that, it all came together for me," Sklar said.
  
  Sklar said good looks are only as relevant as the type producers are seeking.He defined type as a specific collection of physical characteristics.
  
  Sklar pointed out 97 percent of the members of the Screen Actors Guild are unemployed at any given time.
  
  "Talent and training is like air," he said."It's absolutely essential, but everybody's got it."
  
  Sklar said connections will take a person only so far.
  
  "People don't get hired because they know somebody," he said."People get seen because they know somebody."
  
  Sklar discounted the importance of luck.
  
  "Luck has everything to do with your career and that job once you book the part," he said."It doesn't explain why they hired you."
  
  Sklar said the one quality that will make casting directors lose interest is being fake.
  
  "You can be stupid or untalented if you're sincere," he said.
  
  After his lecture, Sklar kicked out the parents and conducted one-on-one interviews with the teens.He planned to read off a list of kids he was interested in working with after the interviews.
