Splitting this off from the Chao Ta Kung Fu thread as it rates its own discussion thread. Namely what skills are suited to someone looking for a career in Hollywood such as acting or stuntwork and how would you set up the various skill programs. I can see at least three different skill programs:
Actor: The basic skills required to act and perform in a believable fashion.
Stuntman: The basic skills for the people who do the dangerous tasks of standing in for the main actors and doing the action scenes that people love to see, as well as what optional skills would supplement this.
F/X: The basic skills for creating the special effects that so wow the public in the theaters, the kinds of things that can't or aren't done with computer graphics (which would be a different skill program).
Hollywood acting skill programs?
Moderators: Immortals, Supreme Beings, Old Ones

Fair warning: I consider being called a munchkin a highly offensive slur and do report people when they err in doing so.

It's 'canon', not 'cannon'. A cannon is a big gun like on pirate ships, canon is what you mean when referring to something as being contained within one of the books such as how many dice to roll for a stat.

Blade with whom I have lived.
Blade with whom I now die.
Serve right and justice one last time.
Seek one last heart of evil.
Still one last life of pain.
Cut well old friend...
and then farewell.
