I don't think that the status of a show, big or small, should affect a person's performance.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think that if an audience is truly appreciative of a performance, they will show it. Sometimes though, there are little differences, and there are audiences that are very reserved even though they are enjoying the show.
I have more artistic control in a smaller show. But it doesn't really matter. Sometimes you can have the smallest role in the smallest production and still make a big impact.
Not every show needs to reach the same size of audience, or same width, of a 'Sopranos'.
I had been on several shows that were meant to be the big ones, that would go on forever, and they didn't.
Big shows are more like events and small shows are more like traditional gigs.
Though television is a smaller medium than the stage, you can't be afraid to be big.
Most actors are small, anyway - at least compared to me.
I think it's a very ephemeral thing, what makes a show a success.
Fortunately, I get asked to play - regardless of how big or small they are - some really interesting people who are part of great stories. So, as an actor, there's really nothing better.
My opinion can be completely different after a show.
