Nobody's perfect! As hard as it is for some Jedis and Padawan Learners to believe, the only way to learn anything, including in the theater, is to make mistakes.
Missing the mark is not a sign of weakness, it's an opportunity to learn . . . an opportunity to be better. A Jedi's willingness to acknowledge gaps in knowledge is the best way to become the smartest person- the best actor, writer, or director- in the room. It is only the over-ambitious, unteachable Jedi that is in danger of giving into the Dark Side, risking a fall into outer Darth-ness!
Why mention it? Because in theater there is no DCAS. There's only an actor, an audience, and the actor's ability to create a reality the audience can believe in. "Do, or do not, there is no try! And if fail, you do, better, you'll do, the next time."
