About this Quote

The quote by Leon Askin speaks to the duality of being a Dumont actor. On one hand, it was considered a great honor for an actor to be part of the Dumont network. It signified prestige and recognition, and it opened up numerous chances for the star. On the other hand, being a Dumont star also had its downsides. It meant that the actor was connected to the network and could not quickly relocate to other networks or projects. It likewise meant that the star underwent the whims of the network, and might be dropped from a task at any time. Eventually, being a Dumont actor was a double-edged sword, with both benefits and downsides.
