I just goes to show that you need to hire the right person for the job. Emeril is a nice guy, an accomplished chef, an inspriational teacher and an entertainer. Obviously, what he is not!, is an actor! It involves a whole different set of skills to make it in that arena. Just because someone is fun to watch and listen to on the TV, doesn't mean that they can make the leap to fiction-based acting and production. This fact is clearly exemplified by models' forays into the realm of theater and film. The resulting effect is a lesson on how to make a silk purse into a pig's ear.
Much easier than the other way around.
To the producers of such shows, a few words of advice---
HIRE AN ACTOR TO DO AN ACTOR'S JOB!
There are plenty of actors out there with lots of food service experience. |
