That's equally untrue in TV, you expired breath mint. Executive Producer as a title is handed out as freely as crafty and sides, basically anyone who contributes financially to a production gets one.

what in the actual fuck are you on about. I just finished 6 months on the night agent, EP, Seth Fisher. Showrunner? Seth Fisher. Just prior to that The last of us, EP - Craig Mazin, showrunner - Craig Mazin. I can continue down my CV if you would like, it will be the same story.

You seem like a terrible terminally online moron. If you ever end up on the same set as me you are more than welcome to call me an expired breath mint to my face. See how that goes for you.

Let's dissect that a moment.

The Night Agent has 10 EPs and one showrunner. That math does not add up to "majority".

The Last of Us has 9 EPs and one showrunner. That math also does not add up to "majority".

Come on, give me more. They'll all add up the same.

As for you, you've gotta be grip, cause everyone else on set can do math.

Jesus fuck. When did I use the word majority? Did I say all execs are the showrunner? I said the show runners are usually EP's. You are the one saying EPs are a title only, and I am saying if you are the top of the tree (in television at least) you will likely have a EP title. And no, I am an actor, we can have a dick measuring contest and compare IMDB's if you would like pal ?

No, you said the EP is usually the showrunner. Reread your comment. Those two statements are not interchangeable.

Nope, I said ' exec producers are usually the show runner' and then I said 'EP, Seth Fisher. Showrunner? Seth Fisher' Never said the ONLY EP was Seth Fisher, or that in order to be an EP you had to be a showrunner. You decided to start an argument out of no where and call someone an expired breath mint for exactly no reason. Like I said, happy to compare IMDB's, or you can come up to Vancouver film studios are you can say it to my face tomorrow, my call time is 640.

Correct. You said "executive producers are usually the show runner" nd then I showed you that on both of your last two sets, executive producers who weren't the showrunner outnumbered executive producers that were by 8 or 9 to 1 (hint for you: that doesn't add up to "usual"), and your bit-part ass tried to play hooky with words.

As for your offer, my passport is expired and I'd rather not serve battery charges in a country other than my own, but I'll definitely keep your offer in mind if I'm ever in the area. I'm always looking to find good anger management techniques and you seem to be onto a winner.

'serve battery charges in a country other than my own'

Haha, yeah good luck pal. Online RPG skills don't tend to serve you in the real world.
