/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

-- Louise Fletcher when accepting the Oscar for playing Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
They couldn't have found a better actress for that role. You could tell she was having a ball with it too.
I hear, like most people who play villains that are easy to hate, she was a real sweetheart in real life.
It takes a lot of empathy to understand hatred
That could be, but I also have to say as someone who has done it in VO roles that it is a lot of fun to play a villain because you get away with chewing a lot more scenery and your character is either so broadly-written that you can have fun with the broad choices or so complex that you have make a lot of fun with the details. And I know I personally have never played a role in between. I don't know that the former really requires empathy, but you can still be hated for your roles when you play the former all the time.
I imagine at her level, which I was nowhere near, she got to have fun playing the complex villain whenever she wanted after that Oscar. And if I had her talent, I would too.
Won't ask about roles or anything, but can you say what your favorite character was? Like, in a non identifying way?
I got to do a sort of evil business guy monster character for a game and I got to do a heavy Brooklyn accent, which is my favorite accent to do, so I really enjoyed that.
That sounds awesome! I'm glad you get to do work you enjoy. It sounds like a fun career, from the outside anyway. I'm sure it has its downsides.
Former career. The biggest downside is that it's really hard to get steady work. But yeah, it was lots of fun.
