    Zegler is a talented young actress and singer,

    You don’t find anything unusual about her acting? Every time I see her it feels like she’s acting, no matter what it is. Movies, interviews, social media, any glimpse is uncanny. Obviously she is “acting” in all those, at least a little, but I get the impression it wouldn’t change even in person. Real skin walker vibes. She creeps me out.

      There’s a school of acting where you’re supposed to more-or-less keep a blank face, and let the audience project emotions onto your protagonist. Richard Gere was famous for it. I want to say it’s Method Acting, but that’s not it.

      It doesn’t work if the writing doesn’t work.
