That's absolutely correct. I got a job modeling in horror films. I found out later they only used me because I didn't need any make-up.

Unlike the USA where you see Asian actors and actresses appearing in a variety of roles, foreign "actors" in Japan are pigeon-holed very quickly and their careers usually short lived.
In addition, working conditions are not so enjoyable in Japan and many foreigner actors pack it in after a while. Appearing in a high profile CM, for example, often does not lead to bigger and better things. It may result in a part in a movie etc to cash in on the actor's temporary popularity. It has nothing to do with talent. When a series of commercials finish then often do the phone calls as well.
Thane Camus was smart by starting his own agency. Maybe he knew something the other guys didn't.
