I'd go further and compare this to actors who many times will never watch the finished product. IIRC, John de Lancie voiced Discord in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic but never watched any of the episodes until the fandom really took off. He was surprised this small role he forgot he even did gained such popularity! I'm sure he's seen a number of episodes by now, especially since he later reprised his role

But I bet the actors that are great who don't watch the finished product DO love to act and the art of acting in general.

Talent loving their art and having creative freedoms are NOT the same as management who love to please investors by following trends.
