The new actors on the scene should be served to energize him and give him a new lease on his career especially after having to work with same set of actors each time. It should have given him a challenge. It's like saying when a new employee comes to the office everyone's work goes down the drain. New blood on a team should push the members specially if they are coming with new and creative ways....OR maybe that's the problem? Aren't the new actors bringing a challenge?
