“Sawdust, actor’s wood” or how to laugh at yourself

Sawdust actors wood or how to laugh at yourself

That an actor hardened in a thousand battles, from this now distant debut of Fernando Trueba to today's Resines, the absolute protagonist of Serrines, has the makings of an actor, not to mention the sober interpretation of the excellent The Good Star by Ricardo Franco, decides Laughing at yourself And with all that surrounds the hypothetical glamor of an artist's life, it is a healthy mental exercise that allows one to detoxify oneself from the tragic feeling of life that is so common.

Love, friendship, journalism, the vanity that comes with the job, the omnipresent and evil Treasury, the people in charge of the pay television channels… in short, everything that surrounds and torments the daily life of a clumsy star in his crisis that persists for hours entertaining series that Prime Video shows and in which, in addition to the protagonist, a wonderful Jorge Sanz stands out, who can be said to have been ahead of Jorge Sanz in his ironic self-criticism with the series What Happens Resines?, by David Trueba.

It's even worth noting that if the large group of screenwriters of “Serrines, Made of an Actor” had focused essentially on the relationship of these two friends, we would be talking about a kind of traditional Kominsky method. The permanent cast, in addition to Resines and Sanz, also includes a funny Ginés García Millán and Lucía de la Fuente, who had to represent Serrines, who refuses to film the sequel to Los tocino, the series that made him famous and popular due to the desire to gain the respect of critics by trying to interpret Shakespeare's Othello, which of course he doesn't succeed in, but his close friend does.
