The Great Acting Blog: “What Mediocrity Teaches Us”
For all the moaning and frustration, truth is, many actors are happy being mediocre, coasting along, auditioning occasionally, working every now and then. You can get by being mediocre, you probably won’t have a lot of fun doing it, but you can get by. Most employers don’t require great actors, they require competent actors (and it seems not even that a lot of the time), and that’s the secret attraction of “The Industry”: it removes the stress and pressure of striving to be anything more than mediocre, it removes the responsibility from the actor. Actors need only to look cute, show up and do what they’re told. This is all well and good, but it’s lead to a diminution in the actor’s contribution, the value of each individual actor is lower than it’s ever been, and actors feel it. The net result is that performance levels drop, and the audience stops looking to actors for nourishment, instead they turn to 3D, the internet and computer games.
The lesson here is that mediocrity is slowly killing the art of acting.
