8. That's just silly.
Oil-rig workers risk their lives every day, too--would you say that if a film were made in which the action took place on an oil platform in the North Sea (there was actually a BBC television series with this premise) that the actors should be ex-roughnecks?

Or that Steve Buscemi is the only actor who should play a NYC fireman, because he actually was one?

Really, that's kind of nonsensical.
