William Russ is a perfect example of a talented soap opera actor. I forgot the name of the show he was on, but I saw him on it about two to three years ago. The best thing he did as a soap opera actors, was not act like he was on a soap opera! No stupid looks. No dumb kisses. No overly dramatic stares into absolute nothingness. In fact, I would say he was understated. That is how they should teach all soap opera actors to behave on camera. I think film actors do a great job of this. They are quiet and small on screen. The camera amplifies all of their actions. Maybe soap opera actors come from thatre a lot, though, because they are acting like each movement needs to be seen by the back row, when really it’s all being broadcast to people’s living rooms! Russ is great though.
