If I were an actor it would really mess with my head if I had to play a love/sex scene with somebody I really did not find attractive.

[(Anonymous)]

It's literally part of the job.

Would it mess with your head if you had to play a deep meaningful friendship scene with someone you only just met yesterday? Or a vicious fight scene with someone you consider a close friend?

Acting is about performing a character and embodying complex feelings of all kinds that you almost certainly don't feel IRL.

It's honestly kind of creepy, IMHO, to be like "I could play an axe murderer or a victim of domestic violence or whatever other role without any personal connection to those experiences... but to pretend to make out with someone I don't find hot is just WEIRD."

[greghousesgf]

I'm sure you won't understand this, but I feel like I can fake most emotions but not sexual ones. I'd make a lousy sex worker.

[(Anonymous)]

Then it's a really good thing you're not planning on becoming an actor, because that's literally Acting 101.

[greghousesgf]

yeah, I knew you wouldn't understand it

[(Anonymous)]

DA
What's not to understand? You are not suited for the job of an actor. Or a sex worker as you said. But we are talking about actors. It's their job to play pretend

[(Anonymous)]

Understand what? That you are, by your own admission, fundamentally unable to do the one thing every single actor is called on to do, countless times, throughout their career?

Name one currently working actor or actress who has never once had to make out with a co-star. Name one movie or TV show that didn't include at least one romantic or sexual subplot.

Your personal issues and hang-ups are irrelevant. If you cannot act, and specifically, if you cannot act in the one department every actor inevitably needs to, you are unequivocally incapable of being an actor.

[greghousesgf]

I can think of a bunch of them but they're not currently working, they're dead.

[(Anonymous)]

Which is the opposite of what I said. So completely and utterly irrelevant to this conversation.

"Name one thing that's blue."
"I can think of a bunch, but they're not blue, they're red."

[greghousesgf]

while we're at it, most war, horror, adventure and science fiction movies do not have a romantic or sexual subplot.

[(Anonymous)]

Clearly you haven't seen very many movies in any of those genres, because that is patently untrue. Adventure and Sci-Fi even have entire sub-genres dedicated to it, 'romantasy', 'space opera', etc, etc, etc.

A certain subcategory of war movies manage to avoid romances, but those are few and far between and generally contain 100% male casts. So the one possible example you list wouldn't be available to you as an actor anyway.

[greghousesgf]

not every character in those movies got paired off anyway. you seem to think that all TV shows and movies are like Noah's ark, everybody's in couples.
Besides, I'm not an actress, I've never claimed I was and I'm not even trying to be. I expressed a discomfort with the idea of faking sexual interest and it really pissed you off for some reason I can't guess at. Serves me right for saying anything personal about myself here and not being anon. I won't do that again.

[(Anonymous)]

That's a good idea. It'll still be annoying as fuck when you try to make secrets all about you and your psychological hangups instead of taking that shit to GC like everyone else does, but at least you won't be notified when people comment on it and we can be spared the "I don't know why everyone's picking on me when I specifically redirected a conversation to be about me!" whining afterwards.

[greghousesgf]

yeah, I noticed you ignored my previous point about you thinking all characters in all TV shows and movies are paired off. You seem to be about the only person here who has some problem with what I said and anyway, lots of other people here talk about their hangups. Also how do you think you're going to know which anon comments here are mine? Nobody has so far.

Neal McDonough

I have absolutely no horse in this race whatsoever and do not care, but it was fascinating to me to watch an interview with him where he was like 'yeah, I play a soldier or a villain almost exclusively because I refuse to kiss anyone on screen'. Made me really think about how prevalent kissing is in media and how hard it is as an actor to avoid it. Though I have to admit, Caity Lotz immediately shooting back with 'I loooove kissing people on TV' was making the whole thing even more funny to me. :D
