Part 4/10:
A noticeable trend is Hollywood’s shift toward casting television actors in blockbuster and major film roles. This could be driven by budget considerations or a strategic move to leverage established TV stars with dedicated fanbases. For instance, Joe Quinn, known for Stranger Things, has been cast as Johnny Storm—even though he was a secondary character on the hit series.
Similarly, other actors such as Nathan Fillion, Ed Cige, and Isabella Merced have built their careers primarily on television, yet are now landing notable roles in larger projects. This is a departure from traditional casting, where rising film actors would earn a spot over a longer period of proving themselves.
