Most Action/Adventure and Comedic actors are just an extension of their personality.
We all know what we’re going to get with a Sylvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger or The Rock or Will Smith movie, just as we know what Eddie Murphy or Robin Williams or Steve Martin are going to bring to the screen. But they all have a massive amount of charisma, which is why we watch their movies over and over again, regardless of the “quality” of the story.
Bill Burr is just Bill Burr playing Bill Burr but in a different situation than a stage or podcast or on a talk show. But that can be said of 95% of all TV and film actors. We don’t expect those guys to “disappear” into a role because that’s not why we’re watching. We want to see them kick ass and for it all to end on a happy note.
So Keg’s point was spot on. He’s never seen Sasha Banks display any acting chops, which led him to believe she’d be playing someone other than Sabine, a character that was prominently featured in Star Wars Rebels for 75 episodes.
