Evan Rachel Wood

I recently finished watching Westworld and i liked it, and of course loved the main actress. She is very talented, and probably an emmy contender too. I searched for her on youtube, and found an interview in which she said that the acting in the show is the Acting Olympics because of the array of emotions in every scene.

I don't take away the difficulty of her acting, the requirement of her character, etc.. it's just that many actors are overrating their jobs, another example is Stephen Amell from Arrow, he has said on multiple occasions that he has the toughest job in the industry.

And that's one of the things i love about Tatiana. She is so humble and down to earth, embarrassed even, when asked about her job. She even makes it look very easy, like she is less than the actors who constantly brag about themselves. Not that Evan Rachel Wood doesn't deserve the accolades she's given, but she is no Tatiana Maslany to me, and as i watch more and more different shows, i realize what a gem Maslany is! :)

I so agree with you! I can't even count how many different characters she's played on OB by now, but I've never once heard her say, 'this is the toughest job any actor could have, it's like running a marathon, yada yada'. She is definitely very down to earth and humble.

I feel like every actor says things like that in interviews and it gets to a point where everyone sounds like they're reading from the same script. It's the same thing when actors are asked about their experiences and 99% of the time they use the terms 'visceral' and 'surreal' -- I swear they all must be reading from a teleprompter! 
