Julia Roberts is the latest actor to be tempted over to television, playing the lead role in Mr Robot creator Sam Esmail’s upcoming new drama, Homecoming.
Given that scripted TV series have become far more respected in the past decade, one might consider this move overdue, but “I’ve never called myself a film actor,” Roberts insists.
Although the line between film and TV actor seems to be diminishing, Roberts suggested it never really existed. “I don’t know a lot of creative people that would compartmentalise their places to be creative in that way,” she continued.
“You would just stand there and just marvel at what was there for us to play inside of – It was astounding.”
