I think that’s the best thing that has come out of dropout presents that I’ve seen. It’s incredibly funny but also uses the form better than just about anything. And I love the idea of the goal of the show is to make the show irrelevant. The best political works are and that is such a brilliant observation.

Cannot recommend this enough

Chris Grace captures the fear and pressure of being a blank slate to be casted onto while maintaining your individuality and identity as a person.

And they say Endgame was the biggest crossover of all time.

Chris Grace you are a sensation.

Honestly, this comment and thought might potentially horrify Chris Grace, but this special did further encourage me to become an actor

Taking his one man show from stage to screen with a comedy special filmed and presented on Dropout, Chris Grace plays around with the medium and framing of both streaming and the comedy special in order to further amplify what he was already doing. Chris Grace As Scarlett Johansson explores race and identity and hypocrisy and legacy and harm, etc in a way that is wholly unique to Chris himself. While Chris would probably balk at the use of the word “authentic” - he does examine and question the idea of an actor on stage as “authentic” - perhaps he would be more comfortable with the word “genuine”? Because whether or not the Chris Grace on stage/on screen is “authentic” what is being built between himself and his audience is an attempt at a “genuine” connection. Any reaction one has to what is being filmed and what is being performed on stage will be genuine. That is unavoidable. It is in our human nature to react. Acting is reacting, after all, or so the adage goes. The meta-narrative, the meta-commentary, the meta-whatever of the film (yes, I will use the word “film” for this) wonderfully builds upon Chris Grace’s life, an imagined construct of Johansson’s life and his own life, and the performance itself. Chris Grace states that his ideal would be for his special to become irrelevant. I hope so too.
