it's kinda like taking bryan cranston out of malcolm in the middle as the real nice dad and making him breaking bad. for progression rather than just landing you with this new actor. and it's done in just everything

wasn't there this thing on reddit there recently where actual footage of some dude was used in a movie and everyone complained it was overacted. and which is interesting. there's actually some weird interesting stuff to be done as regards actors and acting and what's going to be appreciated and whatever. it's all very sort of silken. like hollywood and whoever are so real gentle with you going from one movie to the next, and one actor to the next, and whatever. there's a fascinating sort of art in it. the answer then would be no ofc, because nobody gives a fck who u are really, and acting isn't really about being real

Are we comparing my performance of myself against how I regularly perform or how someone else would portray me?

Worse. Even though you'll be more natural, acting is more than just playing the character. Acting is composed of consistent portrayal of character elements that contribute to the show's plot, themes, tone, and interactions with other characters. The majority of directors would rather not isolate individual characters from the rest of the movie... unless you're Andy Warhol.

unless you're very self-aware or you're playing the role of yourself playing the role of yourself.
