Summary

This quote humorously suggests that the notion of a "serious actor" is contradictory in nature, much like other phrases such as "Republican party" or "airplane food" that often provoke skepticism or irony. It implies a perception that actors might not always be associated with seriousness or depth, possibly due to stereotypes or perceptions of the industry. The quote uses playful irony to question the credibility of the concept of a "serious actor" in a lighthearted manner.
