"Why would an actor choose such a career move? As Alec Baldwin explains it – he found that starring in feature films involved "very little acting." Whereas with television you get to develop a character over the course of several episodes, with far more screen time. And judging from what someone like Kyra Sedgwick makes per episode (it's in the $300,000 range) – it's a financial windfall as well. We also have to take into consideration where the actor (or actress) is in terms of career as well. We won't see Philip Seymour Hoffman on a series any time soon...So which actors seem to be ripe for the picking from the big screen world and brought to their own television series?"
