I tend to think that if one is looking at the teleprompter, one cannot be looking where one is supposed to be looking. Though I confess that i'm not very good at remembering my lines... still, I'd rather have to ad lib than read them.

This is precisely true. And can be just as distracting from the story for an actor to forget the lines and be looking for the prompter as it can for an actor to forget the lines and stumble to pick them up or wait for someone to pick up for them.

Actually, the third option is, I think, the ideal. If one person forgets the lines, someone else picks them up. It's less distracting, I think, in the long run. But it takes a great deal of practice and trust (or professionalism and experience . . . or all four), and I'm not sure we're going to get that much practice together.

I would really love to talk to you about acting, pick that delightful brain of yours!

Have at. I love to talk about acting and my theater background. (Keeping in mind that all my experience is stage experience, and none of it is professional.)

Jensen is being a good example for you to follow. You couldn't pick a better role model. Now we just have to figure out how to remove his brain and study it. *ponders*

Nooo! Keep him safe from Sylar! 8-P

I sometimes can't really put into words how much he impresses me as an actor.

I'd be willing to study his brain through conversation, though I myself my be somewhat incoherent with admiration. :-) Heh.

Ummm... i was thinking of saying something (hopefully smart) but you killed me with Jensen and Shakespearean in one sentence and now i can't get rid of this image...

feliciakw March 19 2009, 21:58:08 UTC

Hee! Well, if you think of what you were going to say, please feel free.

Oh my god, Jensen and Shakespeare. I'd love to see him do Shakespeare. I don't know which role though.

feliciakw March 19 2009, 20:34:43 UTC

Well, the obvious choice that comes to mind is Hamlet. *nods* I can see Jensen playing Hamlet. What has Dean done all season but "To be or not to be . . . "? Jensen would totally rock that.

Oh, my word. Or if you wanted him as a villain, what about Iago, from Othello?

I'm not as familiar with the comedies as I should be, but I'm sure there must be a choice role for him in one of those.

*ponders more*

Much Ado About Nothing of course - he'd be the perfect Benedick. :)
