Hollywood will (and has) overlooked just about anything if someone makes enough cash roll in.

You don't, and there's plenty of other actors with your level of quality acting (putting it overly politely), so now you have to work in a conservative's paradise: the people in charge are completely free in their hiring decisions. They're under no obligation to consider you, and likely they can get someone as good or better.

Not fair, you say? What do you want, a quota?
