People call me a theater actor, but I'm just an actor. But I tell my friends all the time - especially a lot that do theater and haven't done a lot of TV/film - that you have so much more control over your work onstage.

There is no editor, there's nothing that's going to stop the actor from showing what they can do unless it's not a well-written role.
