Nope. That used to be true, but the lines between film and TV are very blurred these days. Film has gotten rather conservative in terms of wanting low risk projects, while TV has gotten more daring. The term "prestige TV" is a thing, and plenty of people understand that getting on board the superhero bandwagon means $$$$$. And remember, Hiddleston's other highly acclaimed role was The Night Manager, which is TV, not film.

Also keep in mind that the British aren't as snobby as Americans are about the supposed line between TV and film. (And as previously noted, Americans aren't as picky about this as they used to be, with good reason.) As a working actor, you do TV, you do film, you do theater, etc. There's no "go into films and avoid TV forever".

Definitely true regarding your snobby comment imo. Most British actors start out on TV first and then get a breakthrough film role. Hiddleston would definitely fit this pattern, though he also has his theatre stuff (and I feel like theatre is probably his favourite) - British actors who have been in film will go back to TV quite happily more often than not. And continue to switch between the two. Or three if they do the stage as well.

Yep. I'm not a Brit, but just looking at their well known actors you can see that people switch back and forth between all three mediums without a second thought. There doesn't seem to be any stigma about it, and in the U.S., there's increasingly little stigma about the practice, too. Times have changed.

It's true that prestige TV is a thing, but at the same time, let's be honest, the Marvel streaming-only Loki show probably is not going to be anywhere close to "prestige TV" in any meaningful sense

[(Anonymous)]

Sure, but the anon I responded to was speaking in general terms about going from movies to TV, which is easily refuted. And secondly... I don't know, to be honest. Remember, before Netflix became a huge thing, landing a role on a Netflix-only streaming show wasn't considered a prize, either. This series might not be prestigious at all, but you can't discount the reach Disney's streaming service will have or the money involved, nor can you predict that it won't turn out to be bigger than expected.
