From the point of view of being in the public radar, comedians have less problems than other actors. Action movie stars like Stallone or Schwarzenegger usually attract the more aggressive fans.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Comedians work great as actors because they're good under pressure. With a lot of actors, you have to make them feel like everything's going really well to get a good performance out of them. But, if you have a comedian on the set, you can tell them, 'Hey, you really are screwing this up,' and then they just get better.
As far as I can tell, comedians are pretty serious people, and that's why they make fun of things all of the time.
Comedy is difficult for an actor. But I think I have a good sense of humor and manage to make people laugh and make them happy.
It's odd because some actors are very scared of comedians.
I think it's actually a misperception that I am a comedic actress. I do more drama than comedy but very little of it has been seen. When you are in big funny movies and they do well and your little part in it kind of explodes people perceive you as a comedian.
I'm attracted to working with comedians because they don't have that stars' idea of what a hero should be. The downside is they're always addressing the camera too much.
Comedians are not usually actors, but imitations of actors.
I have always had huge respect for comedians/comediennes. It's because comedy is very hard to portray.
The really good stand up comedians can be angry but relatable, and they have interestingly humanizing personalities. Their observational skills are far greater than mine, so I'll just stick to reading lines off a page.
Comedians... they're different from actors. There's more ego there. They create the whole thing, I guess, so they're more precious.
