Burning_Monk posted:They would have ruined her too. Remember, Berman wanted the actors playing humans to be walking mannequins so the aliens would "pop" more. Forbes just has too much emotional range for that crap. No I don't remember. What's the source for that? It makes a lot of sense though.

Jedi Knight Luigi posted:No I don't remember. What's the source for that? It makes a lot of sense though. Interview with Garret Wang quote:When casting ended on Voyager, all the actors were invited by executive producer Rick Berman to attend a congratulatory luncheon. It was during this lunch that Berman informed us that he expected all actors portraying human roles to follow his decree. He told us that we were to underplay our human characters. He wanted our line delivery to be as military — and subsequently devoid of emotion — as possible, since this, in his opinion, was the only way to make the aliens look real. https://trekmovie.com/2011/06/22/garrett-wang-talks-clashes-with-brannon-braga-rick-berman-lost-opportunity-for-star-trek-voyager-movie/ I think Beltran also mentioned it too in one of his interviews.

Cythereal posted:Avery Brooks was always very up front that he saw Trek as an acting gig, nothing more or less. Yeah I know. I've watched some footage of the few conventions he did go to and he sounds and looks incredibly bored and repeats answers across all of them, mostly talking about the pilot (which he did seem to genuinely like the concept of). And it’s like, yeah, if you’re a professor or whatever at a university and don’t actually care about staying in the public eye or that autograph $$$ I can see that being the case.

Brooks also tends to come across as disdainful of the other Trek alumni who do try to coast on that - see his trolling of Shatner, for example. Brooks by all accounts takes his craft as an actor very seriously and doesn't like dealing with the press. I've seen a few accounts by people who had him as a professor saying he was really smart and knowledgeable, and extremely focused on the art and craft of being an actor, that he was all business and only brought up any of his past acting jobs to provide specific examples during lectures.

Generally I just think it'd be a job personally I'd avoid if I didn't want that lifestyle although frankly he can do whatever the gently caress he wants of course.

Timby posted:Spacey was a nobody actor until The Usual Suspects in 1995. (And then he went through the weird phase that Tommy Lee Jones did, and now Liam Neeson, of trying to be an action star.) Homicide was really really good and a solid 10-20 years ahead of its time. It was so good that no one watched it and NBC still kept it on air.

I mean I’d equate it to someone who truly loves making music and the art and theory behind it, but pays the bills by writing commercial pop songs. There’s still enjoyment in it, but there’s so much more behind it to that person.

I like him because I had a Black acting teacher that did stage soliloquies very similarly, like seeing if he could get a burst of saliva to sprinkle the back balcony. He got us all eNUNciATIng and PROJECTING. Hit those plosive consonants like a loving champagne cork popping. Gets me wet just thinking about it now.

I think it's meant to clearly get emotion across to the back seats in a large theater, who are too far away to grasp subtle performances.

Astroman posted:Next someone will say the K-word Let me tell you something about Kling-ots, Archer. They're a violent, bloodthirsty people, as long as their enemies are plentiful and their bat'leths are sharp. But give them some creature comforts—feed them well, let them rest, clean them up, and provide a hostility-free environment over an extended period of time—and those same bloodthirsty, nasty, violent people... will become as wonderful and friendly as the most intelligent hew-mon.

Grand Fromage posted:Didn't know Chief O'Brien was a goon. Chief O'Brien got promoted once in 14 years, routinely ignores his wife and kids so he can play wargames with his friend on the computer, doesn't have a lot in the way of social skills and tends to shout his mouth off, and routinely gets himself in situations where all sorts of crazy and ultimately traumatic stuff happens to him. Chief O'Brien is the uber-goon.
