Changing Lanes: What are the risks and benefits of being typecast in film?
It is fun being in your comfort zone as an actor, you know, when you’re getting roles in your established specialty (i.e. comedy, rom‑com, action). But what if you wanted to break the mold, try something in a different genre or as a different type of character? What are the risks and benefits of making such a bold career move? Join us on the Cup of Tea Critiques Podcast as we discuss the pros and cons of being typecast.
Send us a comment to let us know which actor or actress you would like to see try something a little different.
