You did what I couldn’t do
You took a role that played you up as some obnoxious obstacle and took it and made her human.
I was in awe in that audience at how truly obvious it was that you knew what you were doing.
You have such a talent about you, that you can make any character interesting and empathetic to some degree.
Her, the bully, the gym teacher-
No matter what, despite the plot, your character gets a sliver of redemption since in the way you act, a smidgeon of humanity sparks beneath the antagonistic lines you’ve been given.
It’s astounding-
We are handed similar fates, oftentimes, it seems-
The old woman who just does not understand.
But you make it work for you, and although it mightn’t be what you hoped for, you run with it and that is what’s so spectacular.
I wish you got your dream roles, and I hope you do someday.
But believe me, with you at the helm of the character- no matter who you play, they have a soul.
Which is more than can be said of most performers.
I really mean that!
