Could an American write Doctor Who? - Babylon 5 creator throws hat in the ring

But let’s face it plenty of your TV and movie characters are actually Brits, Canadians, or Australians putting on an American accent!

It would be interesting to see how many hours of scripted media content per capita each country produces.

We could imagine that on broad average, some fairly flat percentage of humans can be decent actors, so, to produce X number of hours of content, you need a population of size Y. If the US produces too much content, we'd need to import actors to supply the market.

Like, the population of the US is about 2.5 times the populations of Great Britain, Canada, and Australia combined. So, if we produce more than 2.5 times the media those countries do, we'd have call to import actors.

It’s also that US shows pay ten times what, say, the BBC or ITV does. It’s easy see why actors want those sweet American gigs. Get a recurring role in a US show, buy a house! Get one in a US hit? Buy a mansion.

For what it's worth, I found the below here.

According to Google's AI summary (???), India leads the world in number of films produced, followed by China, the US, Japan, and France.

Again, for what that's worth.
