According to him, working on Broadway has some similarities to working in television and movies. Working on stage is also different from television or the movies, however. The similarities include the fact that both require an actor or actress to get into character and to become another person altogether. Projecting that person's personality and characteristics to the audience is the focus of any acting (http://ibdb.com/person.php?id=75553). However, doing so on stage and doing so on television or movies is somewhat different. On stage, he says, actors are not only performing "live" so that there is no chance to redo the scenes he or she may not do well, but the audience is actually a more organic, living and breathing entity that actually participates in the energy of the production. Film is somewhat sterile, requiring an actor to send his or her performance into the void, while a live audience gives instant feedback on the success with which the actor or actress has done his or her job. Because of this, many television shows are filmed "before a live studio audience." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqWx3vjlwXU&list=PLXCSA29X9P7Pef_ZIOO57gpdjnEOPeN0V&index=2
