• In the theater, you're so much more in charge as an actor. For better or for worse, you know what the audience is seeing.

So much of it is out of your control.

One of the caveats is that anything they write is going to be in a foreign language so it won't affect Americans. But that doesn't make any sense because: A) it can be translated pretty easily, and B) Americans also speak other languages.
