Actor Meme!

It's Transmigration 9 Studios. No, the name doesn't make any sense, except that the owner, Stacy, has owned eight studios before this and they've all crashed and burned. Which feels so great for the actors and their sense of job security, let me tell you.

As soon as they're done with their scenes, the characters stop playing their roles and make it real. The scripts are tossed aside, and they can relax now that the cameras are off of them.

What does this mean? Well, perhaps Billy is an actual college graduate, who is disgusted with the scientific inaccuracies and techspeak mumbo-jumbo of his character. Perhaps Kang is a fit Japanese man in a rubber dragon suit. Maybe Renne is a former theater actor that speaks with a posh English accent? Who knows, perhaps Nehaa is a conservative Catholic who finds her role as a stripperiffic space goat horrifying! And it might an ongoing joke off-screen that Leon can't fight for shit, Steve's actor stands in for him during action scenes.

Just roll with it, guys, it's better than my first idea of the night.

"I believe I'm lined up to play a villain next season, come to think of it," he said, eyes shining with the joy. Everyone knows villains are the truly admirable and nuanced roles.

"Like anyone will even notice you after that whole Big Zero takedown plot. They'll probably just have you blow yourself up again." There's no hiding it though. He's totally jealous. Villain roles can be amazing, but he keeps getting these nice guy kiddie roles. "Speaking of. That whole Punishment thing? Fucked up. Can they even show that? I thought there were, like, decency laws or something."
