Did you ever want to give it a try? Acting can be fun, you just have to put yourself in the shoes of someone else. I was in a few plays at Columbia, if you'd believe that.

( considering Matt is well spoken, charismatic and skilled liar? yeah, he's pretty good at acting. he does it 24-7, lbr, so why not take advantage of his natural skill? the girls had loved it. )

Probably because they'd rather read modern things, if they want to read at all.
