Anybody know of any essays exploring why some actors croosover easily from movies to TV or TV to movies, but others struggle? What makes an actor good at both? A specialist in one?

Many TV series are becoming 13 hour long films vs the historically common amateur hour level soap operas... Films rarely permit the deep character definition we demand on TV, plus TV characters need to tone down their extreme acting lest they fatigue the audience in time
