After I read the list of pre-reqs for the castmembers in this show a couple years back (I guess they were lookin' for new recruits), my respect for the role of the gal has gone waaaaay up. In addition to odds and ends like a height cut-off, extensive backgrounds in gymnastics and "stage combatives" (heh, makes me wish my high school drama scene was a little more hardcore), there's a pretty rigorous physical screening, as well. As of 2002/2003, anyway, a Marian Ravenwood hopeful had to be able to bust out six dead-hang pullups.

Heck, most men can't do that without cheating......
