Hey! Not sure if this is a good place for this post. But this makes me crazy. Love other opinions. There’s a couple shows I have LOVED, mainly for the characters’ relationships, that had multi season runs, & great ratings. Yet often only one or two of those actors ever really goes on to have any other success. At the moment I’m specifically thinking of Brooklyn 99, and The Magicians. Both those shows got me hooked deep & I wish there was even more! Why did almost none of those actors have any other hits? Is the writing that good that even actors who just can’t pull anything else off can shine? Or are they really good actors who only got one show that really brought out their real talent?
