SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

The fact that Carrie Coon doesn’t have every single door opening for her, Broadway or otherwise, after playing Nora in The Leftovers is absolutely absurd.

She has the name, THE TALENT and, as a secret weapon, the husband.. and yet she’s not big enough. insane

@MadisonRaeGun She was born with talent - she has the skill. Sorry, just a nobody actor being pedantic but I celebrate Carrie Coon any time I can. She has done the work. She does not need a secret weapon.

@MadisonRaeGun I’m not saying she needs a secret weapon but having a playwright as a husband is something that can be helpful in the theater world

I love her voice. I can’t explain it. Maybe it’s the herbs 😭

her voice is *chef kiss* that’s why she should do more audiobooks

@yourfavestonerr Do more? 👀 what audiobook has she done? 👀

@yourfavestonerr mad honey is amazing!

@yourfavestonerr THANK YOU 😍 The timbre of this woman’s voice needs to be studied

@yourfavestonerr you’re welcome!

This is reflected in the publishing industry, as well. Social media following has become a greater factor in whether or not an author is offered a deal.

true

Amazing she's speaking out on this!! So so so wish I could see BUG!

Same!

Humans are dumb. I saw Melanie Griffiths in Chicago & she gave the messiest performance. Mf'ers still clapped and cheered. Audiences like famous people - doesn't matter how sloppy they are on stage - they just wanna be claquers for famous people. Not about the talent. Ever.

We are in a hierarchical society where talent and ability don’t matter, only popularity and fame. It’s really weird. Carrie Coon is an amazing actor btw. The business itself however is not egalitarian.

Old enough to remember this with voice actors.

she has so much decorum, restraint, and media training. i would lose my shit on that guy acting like she's saying something controversial or newly developing.

carrie sounds ridiculous from all angles. Denzel, Jake, and Clooney are actors, not celebrities. Did her husband tell her she only got Bug because of White Lotus? Carrie hasnt been on Broadway since 2017. She been starring in tv shows. Arent you the problem you are claiming?

she never said all celebrities are bad actors, she just said a lot of good actors will never have the chance to be on broadway bc they are not popular enough

Is this reporter 9?

Always turned off by this art beggar attitude that the government is obligated to foster the arts.

oof. this sucks.

PREACH!!!!!! It’s sad that quality of craft, and time in which one has dedicated to learning and almost perfecting their craft has been subjected to their relevance on social media, threw the means of pop culture! Bring back artists who don’t care about having 20k followers.

Theater is expensive. A matinee show, back of house is $107. It's economics. If you liked an actor in 'x', you're more likely to pay the price to see them in a live show. If you've never heard of anyone in a show, you are less likely to go.

Genius, I loved her in The Leftovers.

her margot from gone girl deserved to be nominated for the 2015 awards season for suporting role she's talented

What I found most appealing about The Gilded Age is how theater-heavy its casting is. I LOVE that they went for talent so hard.

That’s really unfortunate 🫤

Hello-Chalamet is out there dancing like a monkey throwing merch so A24 has a hit movie and his contract is fulfilled and his $$ take from the film is maxxed.

This happens also in Mexico, but the talent is replaced by "influencers"

Good lord who is that interviewer Its like hes a 3 year old..

@arizona_trash habla mesmo

Capitalism really is an art killer.

She’s a great actress who deserves bigger roles

Given what an amazing actress she is, to hear her say this is mindboggling. Sadly, what's she's saying is true. The people funding Broadway now look to star power/recognition to drive their productions. It didn't used to be that way.

while it’s true to some extent in musicals I’m still happy that at least part of it still doesn’t need celebrities to get big and actually created celebrities out of it

The last phrase! Damn! I watch gilded age and omg all those broadways actors … they are amazing! U can see the difference

Perhaps find a profession that provides something that others are willing to pay for. She want government funded arts? I don’t need my tax dollars going to somebody who want to play make believe like 8 year olds. None of you live in reality. Grow up

@grok what is the governmental support of the arts in the United States vs other countries

I mean a TikTok mom was in Chicago... she's not wrong lol

Isn’t that an issue with the consumer?

Carrie Coon is the best 👑
