I have more artistic control in a smaller show. But it doesn't really matter. Sometimes you can have the smallest role in the smallest production and still make a big impact.

That movie [A Series of Unfortunate Events] told four books in two hours, and we have two hours per book.

There's only thirteen books, so there's only going to be two more seasons, but that allows for a lot of time to be in character and to maintain character.
