So some of you may have seen her work on Dr. Horrible or "The Guild" (check you tube). I remember seeing an interview from a video podcast where she mentioned going to this audition or that audition and never getting anywhere becoming a backup or an understudy for parts.

This is where she realized 'well, if I want to make something out of my acting career, I'm going to have to do it myself." This was what spawned "The Guild" which has become quite popular among gamers. She teamed up with one of the creators of effinfunny.com who co-stars.

My POINT in all this is that Felicia Day has a pretty loyal following of fans because she interacts with them. She's active in creating "grassroots" fame and not waiting around for all the big parts--including advertisements. Perhaps if Lacey were to do something similar by providing a place to interact with her more often and doing smaller internet projects and ads, keeping fans updated, and generally increasing her visibility, she'll increase in popularity enough to get the bigger roles.

I imagine there can be some kind of "hierarchy" in the Hollywood acting world regarding the prestige of turning down advertisement jobs or whatever-- but this would certainly get her fans talking more. What does everyone else think?
