That seems to be a different point, entirely independent of the understudy classification.
I've seen people who are the regular actor in a role be "bad." Though I'm reluctant to use that word. Whether a performer satisfies you personally is entirely different than whether they are bad. It's a subjective thing, but that word suggests a more universal assessment. And it's unnecessarily cruel.
Also, it's a very different job to cover a role than to be playing it every night, when you can really shape it. An understudy's job is a little different. They often have to replicate choices the regular actor makes, so as not to throw things off too much. There may be some room for an understudy to make their own choices or put a slightly different spin on the role. But it's a different job when you're stepping in for a show than when you own the role yourself. |
