One of the biggest blessings for an actor is to be able to share his craft with the world and be praised and recognized for the same. All actors want to do good work in the industry and work through mediums like theater, TV, Movies and now digital.

The OTT space has given more momentum and space for actors and the new age audience is preferring the content in the Digital medium as it is raw, more original and does not necessarily follow mainstream ideologies.

The TV however remains a space that is still most explored and it is the one most reached as well. Television can hardly not be found in a home and the masses reach out to the most common source for entertainment. A lot of family shows, mainstream dramas and sitcoms are broadcasted on TV that are followed by millions and billions of users.

There is a blurry hierarchy that is observed by the viewers between the TV screen and Big Screen and the OTT but now, actors are more focused on doing good work. Here are some TV actors who went across mediums and established themselves as versatile and successful actors.
