Mighty Morphin' came out when I was a Frosh at University.
And I was a drama major.
Everybody hated the show. I actually watched a few episodes and was kind of amused by it.
I mentioned this and people boggled that I would do such a thing as watch a show to formulate my own damn opinion on it rather then just assuming it was crap.
And I said, "Yeah, you all think the show is crap. But if any of you were offered a part on the show...?"
And they all nodded and, without any more pompting admitted they'd take it. But one person said they'd feel terribly as 'an actor' for doing so. ((Mind you, this drama department was locally famous at the time for our productions of children's shows. So I thought that was kind of an odd thing to say.))
And I told them I totally respected the people on MMPR as actors. Because anybody who can look into a camera and say with a strait face, "You guys... We gotta do something about this two headed parrot." And then the camera pans around and shows everybody furrowing their brows and nodding with consern. Those people are my personal artistic fucking heroes.
