## Key points

- Riggle says film work in Los Angeles has become the exception.
- Self-taped auditions mean actors need not be in the city.
- He hopes to move back to Kansas City.

## Summary

Rob Riggle says work in the film industry has moved away from Los Angeles, making it increasingly unusual for actors to get jobs based there. He argues that remote, self-taped auditions have also changed how performers find work, and says these shifts are among the reasons people are leaving the city.

The 56-year-old comedian said he would like to return to his hometown of Kansas City, though he has matters to resolve in California first. He is promoting the holiday horror-comedy “Christmas at the Kringles”, filmed in Los Angeles, in which he plays Drunk Santa; the cast also includes Ron Livingston, Rachel Bilson, Beverly D’Angelo and Donald Faison.
