"I have been taking classes and I'm familiar with stage, but I'm not as familiar with acting on camera"
About this Quote
The subtext is strategic: I respect the craft, and I know you can tell when someone is faking it. For a pop figure, especially one associated with a globally recognized brand like a boy band, credibility is always on trial. Saying he is "familiar with stage" acknowledges his earned authority in performance without pretending that it automatically transfers. Then he narrows the gap he needs to cross: not acting, period, but acting on camera, which requires smaller, stranger tools - stillness, timing for edits, repeating an emotional beat across takes, trusting a lens instead of a crowd.
Contextually, it reads like a preemptive answer to the inevitable skepticism: celebrity casting, stunt roles, the fear of being treated as a novelty. Richardson frames the transition as apprenticeship, not entitlement, and that earns him something rarer than applause: permission to be a beginner in public.
