      The experience playing that character must have been a blast for Rob Benedict. Like, he shows up for three seasons (and change), of a fifteen season show, each time playing a different version of the same character, each with a completely different personality, but also...not

      I actually really really liked this talk Rob Benedict gave at a SPN convention when they asked him about his character (back when he was just Chuck Shurley and the possibility he was God was just a weird ambiguous joke)

      They asked how it felt to be comic relief on a show with such paragons of machismo and he said it was just playing to type "I'd love to be an action hero like Jensen and Jared someday but, you know, I don't have it in me, it's not what people see when they look at me"

      "I mean I could physically do all the things they do, pick up a gun and threaten someone with it, or go through the stunt choreography for a fistfight, but you all wouldn't buy it It's really in the eyes, you know? I'd punch a guy out and be like 'Whoa, did I do that?'"

      "It takes a special kind of actor to be an action hero, you gotta really punch a guy out and *mean* it, you know?" The thing is I'd recently done a physical acting class and I totally got what he meant -- this is a classic technical acting thing, the hero vs. the clown

      To be the hero, you see, is to be self-contained and complete It's the pose and the affect that Greek sculptors sought to achieve as an ideal The body is centered and balanced, and the gaze is straight ahead and unyielding

      The hero, in his full flower of heroism, knows who he is and what he's here to do and doesn't need anyone else's input He is whole The clown is the opposite of that

      The clown is *off* balance, his body is pulled forward, his acting is all down not with his core but his face His face is pushed out, searching, hungry, desperate His gaze is unsteady, it jumps and darts and seeks He *needs something from you*

      The clown, by his nature, is the one who breaks the fourth wall -- like in the literal narrative sense, that's why the comic relief guy in the movie is the one who makes the meta jokes The clown is aware of the audience, the clown *needs* them won't leave them alone

      That's what makes a clown a clown, that's what makes him pitiful and ridiculous, that's what we mean when we metaphorically call a real person a "clown" -- they're not sincere, they aren't acting from their true convictions, they're doing it for the *attention*

          When we enjoy watching a clown we're enjoying that feeling of superiority -- someone capering and japing to coax laughs from us and us dispensing them generously like a monarch throwing coins A clown is reassuring as he is irritating, because that's how it feels to be needed

          Just as a hero is intimidating and arouses envy and jealousy even as he commands admiration -- it's at once a relief and yet an insult to *not* be needed

          (I know it's gauche to say this on twitter but this has been a very good thread and I've really enjoyed and appreciated all your explanations and it is only the rising of the curséd sun that drives me to abandon it for sleep. Everyone who got involved in this is great)
