She should be more famous than she actually is!


Sasha is 1 of the most talented actors I've seen and is 1 of the most under-rated and under-appreciated.

I think 1 of the main problems if not THE main problem why Sasha is so under-rated and much less popular than she actually deserves, is the sort of roles that she chooses to play and the sort of shows that she chooses to be in. Sasha does not seem to want to play big roles in big movies or other bigger productions, even though she has the acting chops to do so. She's a much better actor than many of the other actors who stars in big-budget movies, and has so much talent to play bigger roles in bigger award-winning commercial TV dramas, I can actually imagine Sasha playing the role of Alicia Florrick in 'The Good Wife', or play a main role on bigger commercial crime procedurals like CSI, 'Criminal Minds' or Law & Order SVU etc.
Sasha certainly has the acting chops for bigger and better roles, but she just doesn't seem to want these sort of roles. Sure she had a main role on NCIS which is a much bigger show than all the other shows she's appeared in and is 1 of the most successful scripted shows on TV, but she left NCIS precisely because she did not like the heavy workload...I'm guessing this the same reason why she avoids big roles on commercial TV dramas, and opt for smaller and shorter cable shows with much less workload. Bigger production scripted shows on commercial TV and big budget movies tend to have much longer filming times and schedules, hence a lot more workload and busier schedule compared to small cable shows. And Sasha seems very family-oriented and wants to spend a lot of time with her husband and children, I heard she also spends alot of time overseas each year.

I understand it's Sasha's own choice what kind of roles she wants to play and what kind of shows she wants to appear in...I just think it's such a pity that she's so talented, yet her talents are wasted on small cable shows and smaller roles, when she has so much talent and potential for much bigger and better things. It saddens me to see her so under-rated & so under-appreciated, I just want more success and fame for Sasha in her career because she totally deserves it!
But at the end of the day, it is Sasha's own life and own career afterall, as long as she's happy with her career choices, then that's more important. I would be even more sad if Sasha is unhappy with her career.

Too much to read, but my feeling on this is, if "She should be more famous than she actually is!", she would be. 


(edit: I've read it. Stop living vicariously. If you want to be famous, get to work.

And blute3, what the heck is "stund"? Is that german? Do you mean stunned?)
