Morning Thoughts

09/08/11  Sitting in my trailer for the ABC show, waiting for makeup, hair and wardrobe.  And hopefully soon, a cup of coffee!  Have been thinking a lot about the differences between TV, film and theatre.  With TV and film, because of shooting out of order, retake after retake and digital editing, etc. it seems difficult to create a complete thought of create a character.  With theatre there is a beginning, middle and end and there are no retakes so you have to be on all of the time.  Plus you get to build a character that creates a connection to the other character as well as to the audience.  Anyways, just my morning thoughts.
