Why ‘FNL’ and ‘White Lotus’ star Connie Britton prefers TV over film

Connie Britton has clear eyes and a full heart when it comes to filming television shows.The 57-year-old recently shared why she prefers starring in television series over films.“I actually love TV,” Britton exclusively told the Post Wednesday. “I kind of was brought up on television, on watching TV and I love serialized television because I really feel like you get to tackle — and get to really know a character and tell the long version of that story.”She added, “So there’s something really wonderful about that.

I like to be able to dive in and let the story really live and have a life that is ongoing.”But that’s not to say that Britton doesn’t enjoy filming a movie here and there.“I mean, there’s something very artful about a film’s beginning, middle and end,” the actress confessed.“And that’s a very beautiful, traditional way of telling a story too, which I love.

But there’s something if you can really do serialized television and have an audience continue to want to know more about that character and be in that world, that’s pretty special.”Britton has a lengthy resume when it comes to starring in hit television shows, including “Friday Night Lights,” “Nashville,” “American Horror Story,” “9-1-1” and “The White Lotus.”However, she did dive into the big screen for her new horror film “Here After.”The movie follows Britton’s character, Claire, who is “overjoyed when her daughter, Robin, is miraculously revived after a fatal accident,” according to the synopsis.
