"An actor must always be fit. I think participation in serials is a
wide-spread practice. An actor should always express his thoughts,
viewpoints and a skillful actor, should show his worth in serials as
well," says actor Azat Gasparyan.

An actor has a right to act in soap operas and demonstrate his
abilities to the full. The quality and plot of the serial is quite
another issue.

Asked to comment on a new-fangled phenomenon "actor-showman," Azat
Gasparyan said: "There is a great difference between an actor of
a dramatic theatre, master of ceremonies and showman. An actor can
temporarily become a master of ceremonies but the reverse is excluded-
a showman cannot act in theatres."

Azat Gasparyan observed that once Armenia had artistic schools of
different directions but today they have no successors.

"After the collapse of the Soviet Union the prosperity of artistic
schools was stopped. Spontaneous actions are everywhere though we
have many talented young actors," noted the Honoured artist.
