I think most people consider TV roles to be like the minor leagues. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 12, 09:57 23
- $825,000 per episode, boitch! -- nm - Charlie F'in Sheen Jan 12, 09:59
- like RDJ, with his 22 episode run on Ally McBeal? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 09:58 1
  - I forgot to put "slumming it" in there -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 09:59
- in general they are. Being a TV star is a very different than than being even a mediocre movie draw. - Reagen Jan 12, 09:58 19
  - Could have fooled us. -- nm - George Clooney and Tom Hanks Jan 12, 10:04 13
    - as Dano said Re: Hanks, and Clooney was looking like an up-market David Caruso for several years. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 10:08 2
      - Clooney had largely been a failed TV actor, but I will say he doesn't become *Clooney* without ER. -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 10:12 1
        
        agreed. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:14
    - I wouldn't have ever called Hanks a big TV star. -- nm - Dano Jan 12, 10:06
    - 2 out of how many actors on TV???? - groiny Jan 12, 10:06 8
      - Just in the last 15 years; Caruso bombed, Romano hasn't done anything, the Friends underwhelm, no one from Seinfeld did much - Will Hunting Jan 12, 10:09 6
        
        Down Periscope was awesome! -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 10:13 3
        
        I will go to my death defending "Down Periscope". - Mel Profit Jan 12, 10:15 2
        
        my brutha. Plus it had Director Sheppard in it! -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:17
        
        appropriate -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 12, 10:16
        
        Which makes the Kevin James success an out and out shock. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 12, 10:12 1
        
        yeah it is. But he's tapped into something that works for him. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:14
      - Demi Moore -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 10:07
  - I agree, but I think that's changing. Look at Glenn Close. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:01 4
    - no one's exactly beating her door down with scripts. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 10:04
    - She went the other way though. TV has been great particularly for "older" actresses because there are no film roles for them. - Dano Jan 12, 10:04 1
      - all very true points in this thread. Kyra Sedgwick got a nice career out of her show on TNT when the she wasn't getting anything for movies. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 10:15
    - her other options were 110 Dalmations. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 12, 10:03
