Television is face acting, and film is eye acting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Television is a visual medium. You have to create some kind of visual interest. And it's entertainment for your eyes.
When you're doing the work, film and TV are exactly the same. TV is just film in reduced pieces.
The movies are all about visual, and television is all about character and dialogue.
There is a difference between movie actors and TV acting, especially with movie stars, which is they know their face is 20 feet high on the screen. They know they don't have to do much.
The great difference between screen acting and theatre acting is that screen acting is about reacting - 75% of the time, great screen actors are great reactors.
I'm going to insult a whole industry here, but it seems like TV is for people who can't do film. I'm not talking about actresses; I'm talking about lighting people. Lighting on TV is just so... it's sinful, it really is.
I always thought acting was all lights, camera, action. It's a job; you have to do your job correctly.
There are a lot of similarities with film and TV, but also a lot of differences, especially in the way they film stuff.
There's so little difference between television and features as far as you make the film. I mean, you have less money and it's a little quicker, but the concept is all on television.
I always say film is art, theater is life and television is furniture.
