Adding sex appeal to a brand new show:
It still kills me that they brought her on for sex appeal and she turned out to be the second best actor on the show. She completely outshined most of the cast.
Resistance (to her acting skills) is futile.
So in my town there was a billboard with a voyager ad that featured Jeri. They added extra board hanging off the side of the billboard to fit her boobs. Like they could have scaled down or moved her over but they knew what they were doing.
I don't understand why Babylon 5 would feel the need to add sex appeal to the show. They already had the pak'ma'ra!
So many bad actors and yet B5 was a great watch. Minus that last season.
I don't know why Hollywood doesn't tap more stage actors.
I did some minimal acting in college, just Acting 101 as an elective, and I could probably do a better job than about 30% of TV actors with just what I learned in that class.
Seriously, just study Uta Hagen's Respect for Acting and maybe join a community theatre for a play or two.
Yeah, Marcus is great. He talks clearly and with rhythm, he's a delight to watch. In any scene you can tell he's got the stage training and it's paying off.
