It's funny, in a way the actor is a writer. It's not like the two things are so separate as to be like apples and oranges. The writer and the actor are one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sometimes the writing can be so good that the actor doesn't really have to do anything.
Being an actor, we're so dependent on the writers.
Too many writers get stuck in the trap of writing what they think is funny and not considering who they are writing it for.
Changing writing styles is like an actor taking on a different part.
TV writing is tricky to navigate because you have so many different personalities - the actors, multiple producers.
It's well known that actors are lousy writers.
There's more pressure as a writer. As an actor you usually just go, do your job, and go home.
I really think that as good of a job as you do as a writer, you're absolutely indebted to the actors that have to deliver that material.
But I would like to think that it's the actor that makes the difference in these cases. Not the director, not the guy that wrote the book, not the guy that adapted it for the screen, but the actor.
Comedy is underrepresented in every actor's life, because it's so bloody difficult to write.
