Err...there WASN'T an audition process for the 12th Doctor. Capaldi was the only person they asked.but it could work really heck movie and tv industries from all over the world use this and this type of audition process helps chose the brilliant actor peter capaldi to play as the twelfth doctor.
I think you're getting a bit mixed up about the process.I say it before and i will say it again we really should try something different for once instead of this type of "selection" used by talents agencies or fashion magazine contest like JUNON for example to find an actor to portray as the rider we should try old fashioned audition for once like selecting nobodies who once acted in shows or commercials or people who were once extras or maybe have stuntmen who have the appropriate age maybe 28 but can also act which means we really need people who are not part of a talent agency or are not associated with the JUNON magazine thing
Toei DO have open auditions. They see hundreds of people. They even let people audition for multiple roles on the same show. People come back year after year to audition to be on the show. The catch is that Toei usually offer really low wages (the secret to keeping these toku shows going is to be able to make them as cheaply as possible). In exchange they market the roles as a learning opportunity for new actors with little/no experience of the industry.
What the mentions of a "talent show" refer to is where management companies hold a contest where the prize is a contract with them. The winner signs with them and then the company's job is to try and find them work in the industry. In Japan they expect young stars to have a go at anything, be it singing and dancing, modelling, or acting. Just because one of their clients came from a competition doesn't mean they are treated any differently; they're trying to keep them in constant work.
So you have management companies trying to find work for their clients. They hear that Toei are auditioning for a show and have roles for inexperienced young actors. So they make damn well sure anyone on their roster who doesn't currently have work, regardless of how they became clients, goes down to those auditions.
And that's how we get our Kamen Riders - from Kuuga all the way to Drive, and probably Ghost too :laugh:
