Looking forward to Avan spreading his acting wings in this new role. Hope he can channel his darker side. Think this is a good fit for him. Keep up the great work, Avan.

Victorious getting cancelled just might the best thing that has happened to many of these people. Plus, I never thought he had comedic chops. He seems like someone who's meant to play a twisted someone.

Me too. Can't wait. I like that the show is ending because I cannot wait to see where everyone goes in their careers.

The pilot was pretty great. I can't wait for the show to officially start in June. Also, Jogia did a good job in the pilot.

Yeah, I was really surprised, since I didn't particularly like his role in "Victorious". But he really did look and pull off his part in "Twisted". I vaguely remember that I previously stated somewhere that none of the "Victorious" stars would make it in the "real" world, but I realize now that I could actually be proven wrong :)

Thats the thing, comedy is so much harder than anything else. You can teach someone to act, you cant teach someone to be funny. Its like me a comedian does a serious role it doesnt get a lot of attention comapred to someone from a drama background making a good comedy. Jim Carey playing something serious is going to get less attention but more scrutiny than Brad Pitt doing something comedic.

It's funny because comedy never gets any appreciation. it's not even considered real acting by many. And people are offended when comedic films get serious award nominations. But as you said it's actually quite difficult.
