The Character Couch – Sheldon Cooper

Welcome back to The Character Couch! Today's patient — and I use that word with the full awareness that he would immediately correct my use of it, inform me that he is not crazy because his mother had him tested, and then produce a laminated copy of the Roommate Agreement just to make sure I … Continue reading The Character Couch – Sheldon Cooper

The Character Couch – Hannibal Lecter

Welcome back to The Character Couch! Today's patient — and I use that word with the full awareness that he would correct my pronunciation of something, offer me a glass of wine I definitely should not drink, and then evaluate my bone structure with the quiet, professional interest of a man deciding whether I'd pair … Continue reading The Character Couch – Hannibal Lecter

The Crossover Success of TV Stars in Film

There's an old Hollywood rule — unspoken but very much understood — that says if you want to be taken seriously as an actor, you don't do television. Film was art. Television was wallpaper. It was background noise you watched while eating dinner, the thing you settled for when the movies weren't calling. For decades, … Continue reading The Crossover Success of TV Stars in Film
