i used to be of the opinion that actors (particularly in scifi/fantasy media) tend to give better and more memorable performances when they understand the story and genre and feel somewhat passionately about it. and then i remembered Catherine Tate giving some of the best performances on Doctor Who, helping to make one of the most memorable characters, and she still doesn't really know what a Dalek is. and that really makes me rethink my former opinion.

#to be clear this is not a dig at catherine tate at all shes brilliant #and its SHOCKING that donna is pretty much her only non-comedy role because shes an outrageously good actress #and has so much range #doctor who #new who #catherine tate #my posts #idk i feel like ive seen certain actors say their performances fell short because its not their genre or whatever #and ive never acted so i feel like i cant weigh in that much but also ive seen plenty of good performances from people who dont “get” scifi
