   This has peaked my interest in the naming of positions used in the   
   T.V./Film industry!! As I understand things ....   
      
   The *Actors* are the people that work in front of the cameras.   
   The *Writer* writes the words/dictates the actions that the actors   
   say/do in front of the cameras.   
   The *Director* directs how the actors work in front of the cameras.   
   The *Producer* organises the finances required to pay everyone for doing   
   whatever they do. If there are several doing this, they are co-producers!   
      
   Am I wrong??   
      
   So what do *Executive Producers* do?? Are they the representative of the   
   Firm that is bank-rolling the production??   
      
   What, then, might "Co-Executive Producers" do?? Several representatives   
   of the bank-rolling firm??   
      
   Anybody??
