Bit parts in Mediocre TV shows won't develop your acting chops.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My acting chops are awful.
I mean, sitcoms shouldn't be doing 'Saturday Night Live.' You can't just do bit after bit after bit. You have to string it together with tight writing and performances. Hollywood seems to have forgotten how to do this.
Doing a TV show, you're on an assembly line and it's as cut and dry as that. There are some shows that are exceptions. There are producers that want really special things.
Some actors can distance themselves from the parts they play, but I fall into the category who use bits of themselves.
Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting.
Shows have asked a lot of actors to take cuts. Shows are going off the air. So okay, life goes on.
Producing is a world of compromise and actors are utterly spoiled all the time.
Sitcoms are usually given short shrift by the acting profession, but it's quite an amazing job.
It's well done if you can do a part and not have the acting show.
I'm not going to get better as an actor working on bad stuff.
