The show is like an Edwardian play - emotional life gets stepped on for the sake of accepted manners, and that's terrific for actors to play in.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.
A good movie makes the audience feel like they've journeyed with the characters.
I think being a character actor is exciting in that it allows you to embody completely different things, whether it's through wild accents or a crazy bad guy or a drunken good guy.
I enjoy the character interplay. Sometimes the audience is not laughing, but smiling, and that is almost just as good because it keeps them ready to laugh.
That's what acting is - it's about... having the courage to allow your audience into the private moments of your characters' lives.
The sitcom's traditional role has been to comfort the viewer who feels burdened by the unreality of American expectations.
The acting world is a humbling experience, I find.
The acting life is different than I thought it would be. I love it - it's actually a lot less pressure than I thought it would be.
I just think there's always room for humanity in acting, one can only hope, so when you bring in the whole life of a person that's playing a character, then surprises happen and are allowed to happen, and so it makes it more interesting.
As an actress, it appeals to me because I love the idea of playing those in-between moments, the sort of behavioral stuff that one might not normally see.
