The ability of a television series to make adjustments is something you've got to take advantage of.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The best thing about series TV is that everyone you work with is hand-picked, as compared to working on a film.
Being on a television series is sort of life-altering on every level.
Television is fast and loose. You have two or three takes to get your part right, and if you have a problem, well, by the time you figure it out, everyone's moved on to the next scene. It's good training, keeps you on your toes.
Television has to reflect back to you your own sense of security. It also has to mirror your sense of your own decency and your own limitations.
Well, TV series tie you up. You can't do films while you're doing a TV series.
Television is a powerful medium that has to be used for something better than sitcoms and police shows. On the other hand, if you don't recognize the forces that play on what people watch and what they don't then you're a fool and you should be in a different business.
Television is so dictated by time constraints that you have to make quick decisions and go with them.
I believe what makes great television is wanting to watch particular characters.
One of those things that I like about TV is that if you get a group of people you like, you can work with these people for months at a time, and you can discover their strengths and weaknesses, and you can use those in the direction where you take the characters.
You'd be naive if you think you are going to retain any control once you option a character to TV.
