There’s a difference between someone who’s an actor and someone who’s distinctly a theater kid, just like there’s a difference between someone who’s a musician and someone who’s distinctly a band kid, and the theater kids seem to be taking over our media institutions lately. Nobody on the current snl cast seems like a normal person with a good sense of humor - they all feel deeply sheltered and siphoned through private schools and theater camps. It’s more about taste than theater in particular too - I can’t judge people for caring about drama as an art form, but too many new celebrities and comedians seem like they can recite songs from wicked and hamilton from memory.
