Its very unfortunate that "comedians" on average don't get paid as much as serious actors.

​

Often times my favorite guest starring roles are when serious, drama actors show up on comedies for a small role. See: Matt Damon, Selma Hayek, and Peter Dinklage on 30 Rock, Jon Hamm on 30 Rock and Kimmy Schmidt.

*It's Salma Hayek.

I've just seen so many people call her Selma recently.

Jon Hamm does a ton of comedic roles along with dramedies. It's to the point that it often seems like he prefers it to dramatic roles.

I'm sad Confess Fletch flew under the radar so much. It's a great film and John Hamm is awesome in it.

Because they buried the release.

That's getting worse and worse when something will get picked up by one particular streaming service. At least when a film only got a release in a handful of theaters for two weeks it could pick up a following on video. Now they're stuck on some niche service to die. Even if you're interested, most people are subscribing just for one thing. So that further hurts the word of mouth that cult hits need to propagate.
