@charlie horse -- in the boutique specialization, once you sweep the pollux with 1 movie you can raise the cap on actors.

It would be great if you put them in alphabetical order.
But you can use Ctrl+F for quick search

@Charlie Horse: I've taken the Boutique route in my save. Alongside the perks that route gives, it also gives a special building with 2 options.

Option 1, has 2 versions of what's called "Master class".
Version A) for USD 100.000 (standard money), you can train a character for 6 months, giving it +1 star (professionalism) increase - with 100% chance of success. E.g. Your Actor with 5 stars will become 6 stars after 6 months, provided he/she has the maximum skill ceiling of at least 6.
Version B) for USD 120.000 (standard money), you can train a character for 8 months, giving it +2 star (professionalism) increase - with 50% chance of success

Option 2, is currently greyed out, and called Experimental training. Considering what Master class does, it would seem logical this option pushes their skill (professionalism) ceiling.

How do we push them past their ceilings? my Wendy carpenter capped at 2 stars but there's an achievement for getting her to 10 stars so there must be a way to do it.
