Abstrakt
The article proposes a conceptual framework for studying mutual relationships between media markets and acting career patterns. It draws on valuation theory of cultural intermediaries, which presumes that intermediaries are actively creating value and socially constructing markets.
The Czech acting job market is considered as an example of a small, peripheral market lacking a fully developed and standardised intermediary sector of talent agents and managers. This has had an impact on acting careers in terms of actors' strategic choices and the stratification of the market, leading, among other things, to what the article labels 'omnivorous careers'.
