@bold: I didn't know that we could not judge actors but members here can judge us for our opinion. Interesting.
I am not underestimating what commercial cinema does and is. I know how some actors can't fit commercial roles. But what commercial "actors" do is not acting. It is a performance yes, but it's more about looking good, dancing well, just fascinating people through appearances. That is one kind of cinema but it is not acting.
I wrote in my post that I am criticising Kat for saying how as an actor she gets excited by good roles and stuff when she does not act in fact. after watching some really good performances, you cannot go to any of her performance and say that it is acting and good at that. NONE.
She could not sit in good faith at such a roundtable and genuinely talk about acting and craft and stuff. She could however, definitely sit at a Superstar roundtable and speak about the "ting" part of movies, in Swara's style lol. KJo could host that one.
