This short article focuses on television as a complex field of acting practices and actor management. Frequently relegated to a footnote in many careers, television is actually a crucial element in the life cycle of most Italian actors. Production studies insights also show that several intermediaries are in place, with a constant dynamic interplay among actors, production companies, and broadcasters. Moreover, television acting appears to be a stratified, multifaceted concept embracing many roles, different genres, and various degrees of involvement, all constituting an appreciable portion of many TV series and shows.

Abstract

This short article focuses on television as a complex field of acting practices and actor management. Frequently relegated to a footnote in many careers, television is actually a crucial element in the life cycle of most Italian actors. Production studies insights also show that several intermediaries are in place, with a constant dynamic interplay among actors, production companies, and broadcasters. Moreover, television acting appears to be a stratified, multifaceted concept embracing many roles, different genres, and various degrees of involvement, all constituting an appreciable portion of many TV series and shows.
