If you’re a fan of auteur filmmaking, I’d say get yourself invested in some really good TV shows.
Watching monster movies as a kid, liking monsters, building monster models. TV shows like ‘The Munsters,’ ‘Addams Family’ and ‘Twilight Zone.’ It intrigued me. The music came from that.
Initially, I was into dance and learnt Bharatnatyam for eight years. I appeared on various TV shows.
I like to watch the TV shows ‘The World of the Married’ and ‘Hangout with Yoo’ with the members.
I worked as bricklayer, operating forklifts, building scenes for TV shows. I did everything. When I worked at the TV, I told them I would come back one day to give interviews, and they laughed at me.
TV shows about TV were taboo for a while.
We have stay-in date nights where we make a plan to watch certain TV shows together. ‘Survivor,’ for example, is our favorite show. And I make a healthy dinner and we sit down and it’s our date. I love it.
I think there are a lot more writers who are actors than you know; they just don’t have roles on famous TV shows that you recognize.
I love good TV shows, but it’s not what I do. I kind of sculpt my films as I go along. And TV is all about writing, so you just shoot, shoot, shoot what’s written.
I’ve always liked TV shows that have slightly unlikable leads, where you root for them in spite of a lot of things. I know it’s not common with shows with young people; they have to be so likable. But, I mean, teenagers just generally aren’t very likable. I know I wasn’t as a teenager.
I watch Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and Chris Matthews. That’s what I watch every night. By the time I’ve watched them, I don’t have time to watch reality TV shows.
I, as a fan of numerous TV shows and movies, know that people mess up. The characters that we love are not always going to act in the ways that we want them to. That’s what makes them interesting.
When I first started writing for television in the seventies and eighties, the Internet didn’t exist, and we didn’t need to worry about foreign websites illegally distributing the latest TV shows and blockbuster movies online.
There’s always something at least a little smug about self-reference – magazine articles about idealistic journalists, TV shows about TV actors, ironic films within ironic-er films: all this meta-media populated by thinly disguised characters making oblique inside jokes.
I like doing Marathi films. I am not too keen on Hindi TV shows. It’s very tough to get Hindi films, but if a good script and role comes up in future, I will surely pick it up.
Corin Nemec, who was on television for years, has been through a similar thing. We both had TV shows, we’ve had to hit that audition trail, and we were both frustrated. We were both going through divorces, and we decided to write about this stuff. And make it funny.
I grew up in Le Mars, Iowa, and even though it’s a great place to grow up and be raised as a kid, there wasn’t a lot to do. It was fairly boring, and I think the way I either escaped the boredom or found a way to keep myself occupied was through movies and TV shows.
I enjoy watching Fear Factor, Newlyweds and American Idol as far as reality TV shows go.
I always wish the hotels were like they are in movies and TV shows, where if you’re in Paris, right outside your window is the Eiffel Tower. In Egypt, the pyramids are right there. In the movies, every hotel has a monument right outside your window. My hotel rooms overlook the garbage dumpster in the back alley.
I’m always working on stuff. But they never materialize. I’m always working on movies and TV shows.
The more films and TV shows I spoil for myself, the more I am convinced that truly interesting stories can’t be ruined – the plot thickens with the viewing like a rich sauce.
It was an event whenever ‘CHiPs’ would come on in my house. There wasn’t a lot of Latin people being hired to star in TV shows or movies back in the day. Not only was it a fun show, there was a Latino starring in it – so we thought it was extra cool.
Dan Harmon has this idea that characters on TV are allowed to talk about their favorite movies and TV shows and songs.
I do want to get more involved with clothing, TV shows, movies.
I often play characters on TV shows that are more sweet and naive and just kind of puppy-dog eyes, and I don’t think I am like that as a person.
All reality TV shows are a triumph of voyeurism. They choose contestants who are ill-suited and slightly freakish.
I’ve got one outlet now – music – and it’s great to be able to sign someone that excites me. I’d like to also be able to do that with the scripts I get or books or TV shows… I’m not going to limit myself.
Everything related to the NFL, we’re banned from. Whether it be Media Day, whether it be even doing negotiations for TV shows, everybody’s afraid of the NFL in their relation to us because they know they don’t like us.
When New Kids became really successful, I got a lot of offers to do parts in movies and TV shows, but I was really busy, so I pretty much turned everything down. But I always knew it was something that I would eventually put some energy into.
All TV shows are basically part of the same storyline.
I love when people in culture show up on fictional TV shows. I don’t mind at all being a name from the ’90s.
Most of my songs are written about movies or TV shows – they’re not about me.
Even before I was working off-Broadway, there were lots of different TV shows that I would actually say ‘no’ to, and my agents would be like, ‘Are you crazy?’ but they stuck with me because they know the kind of things that excite me.
My mother and I were very close and even when I left home and came to London I would ring her every day. She was very proud of me and loved my celebrity. She would often come to shoots and TV shows with me.
If you look at the cookbooks that sell the most, it’s almost always people who have their own TV shows.
There are certain TV shows that probably would have made me rich, and there are certain commitments I could have made that probably would have raised a lot of eyebrows that I didn’t. But I don’t look back at those decisions and say, ‘Oh God, I’m such an idiot.’
We have a lot of American TV in Australia. I grew up watching ‘Seinfeld,’ ‘The Simpsons’ and those prime time TV shows over the years that feature grown-ups and high school kids. We had a saturation of American voices.
I have to be careful of what TV shows I choose, particularly ones that have commercials in them, because it’s going to be a different kind of television show.
I am constantly visible in TV shows because anybody who is thinking of a role sees me performing on TV and may say, ‘Why not him?’ That way I am always in the limelight. It’s better than running around for good roles. I can’t lobby for roles.
I never thought I’d be doing TV shows about real estate.
As far as TV shows are concerned, I would love to do a travel show.
One year, I did 10 or 11 pilots of TV shows that never went anywhere.
It’s possible to shoot two TV shows. It’s absolutely possible, it’s not something I would choose to do. It does sound completely miserable.
It’s only in relatively recent years that Hollywood became the playground of multinational corporations which regard movies and TV shows as a minor irritant to their overall activity.
You’re a smaller fish in the U.S. There’s just so many more TV shows, and actors, and actresses. Where as in the U.K. you’re in a much smaller market there.
I find TV shows easier to do than films.
The reality television shows are a big hit with the masses with their Bollywood songs. Even if these TV shows are scripted, people are watching them.
If you look at my career path, I was a human rights and refugees officer for the United Nations. I helped research a book for Lloyd Axworthy. I’ve worked in coffee shops. I’ve sold clothes. I’ve hosted TV shows, and now I’m acting.
I am 176 centimeters tall, which is considered average for models. If I were taller, I would’ve been active in the high-end fashion industry and if I were shorter, I would be a popular commercial model appearing on magazine and TV shows.
I always thought the writing process for movies and TV shows was just a blueprint. The making of it was the thing.
‘Veep’ is definitely one of my favorite TV shows, and not because I’m in it. It’s just such a great show, and the fact that I’m on it is crazy to me because I love it so much.
When films looked a little difficult I did two TV shows and learnt a lot. I even did modelling in between.
The first step toward maintaining autonomy in any programmed environment is to be aware that there’s programming going on. It’s as simple as understanding the commercials are there to help sell things. And that TV shows are there to sell commercials, and so on.
I have noticed a growth in demand from audiences to include more women of colour and women to be cast as significant roles in TV shows and movies.
Working on ‘Comedy Bang Bang,’ we’re there from 10-7, and that’s a pretty light day compared to most other TV shows. Other shows, it’s like 10-10.
In fact, I learnt Hindi over a period of time after I started doing TV shows.
I enjoy reality TV shows. Watching them, and appearing in them. There’s a spontaniety involved in the unscripted shows that I like to be involved with.
