Oh my. You hit the nail on the head.

There isn’t any rewind button on stage any more than there is in life. Film seduces with the promise of do-overs, but as I once did on a pilot, you can hear them say, “moving on,” “we got it,” or “new deal,” after only one take and realize that one take is all the editor will have of you to choose from (happily, my worry was unneeded: I’d done well, and since my character was named Winchell, one of the other actors started calling me, “one-take Winchell” as a compliment that helped knock me out of my actor-insecurity moment).
