Like Water and Oil, this is a rare, interesting character, albeit one whose personality type we would avoid as a potty on a hard summer’s day. No one wants to shake hands and drink with these fictional representations of all the worst traits. But visually indulging in their dirty dealings and delightful sadism is just too much fun to pass up. Why anger, boiling hatred, and ominous discomfort draw us in again and again deserves its own article. After all, civilized society has its warnings.

When you’re acting, how do you make it look like you’re not acting. source
I recently participated in an audition process over Zoom, and the actor mentioned multiple times being uncomfortable with the setting and equipment. So I thought it would be interesting to explore that because I know a lot of actors don’t like auditioning on Zoom. But that’s the way to think about it.
