I joked in an earlier thread that Jennifer Lawrence is neither great nor awful but common. Many of these child actors who become adult actors skip the step where they stand on a stage and have to act and emote in such a way that a guy in the back row of a 2,500 seat theater feels it and connects with it. If the younger generation does live theater, it is as a stepping stone to a film career or a TV series, justxas so many young comics are only doing standup to get on a sitcom. There are good young actors out there, but they aren’t the... well... common ones. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "TVorNotTV" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- Kevin M.
