The actor as well as his manager

In the 19th century, the negative reputation of actors was largely reversed, and acting became an honored, popular profession and art. The 19th-century repertoire usually consisted of a combination of 20th century [ ] The system of actor-management waned in the early 20th century, as actor-managers were replaced first by Though no longer the standard practice, modern actor-managers do exist and increasingly fringe work is being explored on this model as actors look to provide themselves with an artistic platform which they have the means to control.

The construction is disjointed (in my view) both grammatically and conceptually. The mind has to go down one avenue, then halt and examine a cul-de-sac. I would far rather read 'Both the owner and his servants are honest'. It avoids the hiatus of a plural noun beside a singular verb and does not require any punctuation. The controversy here is about the singular form of the verb is, namely, wheather one must change it to the plural form are. The plural form is definitely acceptable here; the question is whether the singular form might be acceptable, too. Considering the is version: on the one hand, it seems there are completely analogous sentences, with verbs in their singular forms, that are definitely acceptable (see below, esp. [70] ii a.). On the other hand, as Jason observed, in the case of your sentence, the is version sounds a bit off. I don't know for sure what the reason is, but I have a guess: the fact that servants is in the plural. I'll return to that after providing a bit of background.

While you may dream of hitting the big screen or following in the footsteps of your idols, getting to that position can sometimes feel like an impossible dream. From Thankfully, that’s where the actor management services of a professional acting agency come into play. Yep, we’re talking about the actor manager, what they bring to the table, and why they are so very important to the success of your career. What is an actor’s manager? Let’s start off with the basics. Some people say that an actor’s manager is different to an acting agent and in some ways we’d agree. We’ve seen the difference described as an actor’s agent is concerned about getting you jobs now whereas an actor’s manager is more focused on your career as a whole. While that may be true for other agencies, it’s not how we see things at Hunter Talent. For us, there is no distinction. But perhaps that’s because we, as an agency, are in it for the long haul and hope to see our actors grow into their career and develop with Hunter alongside them every step of the way. With this in mind, and for the purpose of this guide, we’re treating agents and managers as one and the same. An actor’s manager or acting agent will most likely work for an agency.
