A million times yes - plus, TGP isn't a dramedy - it's sitcom, a comedy show. KB has to make these Herculean acting turns that no one else in her GG category had to do (or could do.) I think the problem is she does it so effortlessly that it is taken for granted or overlooked.

like darcy said.. it's a subtle performance

Quote:

As far as playing four of her co-stars at once, “it’s not necessarily hard to play five different characters,” Carden says, “but it is hard to play five really well-established characters that I’ve known for years now.” Jason and Tahani were “easier to play, because they have more specific characteristics,” but Kristen Bell’s Eleanor “was very hard… it’s, like, so subtle.”

this scene was EVERYTHING. gosh she is so profoundly good. how she manages to toe the line between all these messy emotions and still be heartbreaking, and funny, and moving, and powerful and vulnerable. she is pure talent.

Loved that Darcy said that

What has been the most enjoyable part about playing Eleanor in The Good Place?

The massive emotional growth that she’s had. You rarely get to play a character that grows this much [from] someone who is narcissistic, hard to be around and borderline anti-social to someone who is building a team, investing in people and for the first time in her life caring about others.

Are you and Eleanor alike in any way—or do you wish you had any of her qualities?

No, I don’t need anymore Eleanor qualities. The qualities I share with Eleanor, I try to keep quiet. I do love that Eleanor is blunt. I think I could use more of that in my life. She cuts to the chase. It’s not necessarily a quality that I want, but it is very fun to play someone who is selfish. She’s just looking out for number one.

This is a hard same.

A friend on Facebook asked me what character I'm most like and I was like "I really hate to admit this but if Eleanor and Chidi had a baby that inherited all of their worst qualities I would probably be that baby."

I'm blunt, I have a horribly dirty mind, I'm indecisive and I stress out about the littlest things."

Okay
