What characters were meant to be portrayed as “sympathetic” by the actors or writers came across as the exact opposite? Usually, when the writers want you to find a character sympathetic, it’s not too hard. Be they good guys you’re meant to root for or bad guys that are meant to have a sympathetic motivation or a sad backstory, audiences usually get the intended message. But sometimes due to poor writing choices or questionable acting, audiences could instead see…

Which pair of actors had your favorite platonic screen chemistry? I was just watching 30 Rock again and still am astounded at what good screen chemistry Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin have, especially because neither of these actors nor these characters were ever romantically involved with each other at any time.

Shows where the actors playing the parents are YOUNGER than the actors playing the children? I was watching this non-English show. It starts off with the kids being little and the parents being adults. However, there is eventually a time leap where the kids become adults. All the actors are replaced.

( www.reddit.com )

Is a network television schedule more grueling for actors compared to working on a streaming show? Was always curious about this.
