All I see are old actors in various roles. They are still working so why don't they quit complaining?

Streaming opened up a lot of opportunities for older actors, but before that the roles for older actors were usually secondary, especially for the women who are generally cast as an older wife or grandmother.

It's the old actors who aren't good enough to get the part complaining and they would rather blame it on their age than admit they aren't talented.
