Honor the Writing and the Writer

The screenwriters have killed themselves to make a great script for you to do. Let’s honor that and them. Casting did not call your agent and say, “Hey, send your client Joe Schmoe over to my office and be sure to have him rewrite the material.” Fulfill what the writer intended! If you don’t, you’re just shooting yourself in the foot because the writers are gonna be like, “WTF? Why don’t these actors do what I wrote?!” Either you’ve made their great writing look like garbage because you can’t execute it, or you won’t execute it, which is a big ol’ F-U to them.” – From Adam & Lesly’s Monday Ongoing on 07.31.17, courtesy of Kristi L.
