‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s Kaitlin Olson Shares Tips for Aspiring Actors

Date:

Kaitlin Olson from the hit FX series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia shares amazing tips for aspiring actors.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has reached its thirteenth season. It is arguably one of the most successful TV comedy series of all time. Star Kaitlin Olson has remained a key part of the show playing “Sweet Dee” Reynolds, the aspiring actress with no acting talents. In an interview with IndieWire, Olson spoke about the importance of being self-confident with comedy and the importance of getting along with the cast and crew.

When asked about what could be tough about working with another actor in a comedy, Olson explains when actors are not comfortable with themselves can be tough.

Olson explains I think people who are trying too hard, sometimes I get that that’s nerves when you’re auditioning. But that is, unfortunately, a little off-putting. Because you just feel like, ‘Oh, that’s going to be a lot to handle.’ People who are comfortable in their own skin typically don’t have as much of an ego.”

Olson added, “I remember Sofia [Black-D’Elia] came in and was very casual and calm, said ‘hi,’ and just sort of started acting. That’s really what you want in an audition. It’s a hard thing with comedy. It’s a very fine line, people overdoing it and turning into cartoon characters. You want to have a really heightened version of yourself, but not go into cartoon-land.”

One thing that has helped It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia succeed as one of the longest-running live-action comedy TV series is the comes try between the cast members. Olson explains that it isn’t uncommon saying,  “I guess people do that in movies a lot, cast their friends over and over and have different groups, and you just know that you’re going to vibe well together.”
