With Tunie, I didn't mean to imply she wasn't successful, but I feel for her body of work and level of talent that I wish she was given a shot to truly lead something. Similar to the popularity that a Viola Davis has gained in recent years. I want to see her starring in a Broadway show, her own primetime show, films, etc. I love that she's managed to carve out a wonderful career for herself, but she deserves to be on top. Debbi Morgan is another actress who has seamlessly weaved her way in and out of primetime and soaps, but I still feel she has the talent for that Oscar or Emmy winning project, she just needs someone to give her the opportunity.

That's a fair point. 

I definitely agree that, with their level of talent (Tunie and Morgan) they should be getting more opportunities to lead series.  I do think that Davis has been quite a bit more vocal early on about her level of talent and where she believed she should be and that her career was not at the level that she felt it should be. I can remember from at least the time that Davis did Doubt with Meryl Streep and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, maybe even earlier, speaking of not being satisfied with the types of roles that she was often offered and that she felt that she deserved better.  It's a shame that a talented actress has to even bring this to anyone's attention but I do think that Davis being so consistently vocal had a lot to do with her being in the forefront of influential directors and producers' minds.  Then, there is the George Clooney factor.

Looking around Youtube I saw Kerr Smith in one of those channeling/manifesting videos where he talked about how he managed to envision himself getting on Dawson's Creek (he also auditioned for Party of Five). He mentions ATWT as well, mostly just saying that he learned to act on the show. I didn't watch the rest.
