It's just useful.If you look at actors preparing for a role in a TV series they don't get all (or even many) of the scripts before auditioning or shooting the first season and surprise reveals are a thing. This doesn't stop them preparing what they think is the backstory to add depth to their characters. It helps inform them how to act and react to things but only what the script writers write in the scripts is actual canon.Prep is at the same level for the MC as it is for series actors. It's secondary canon used to inform but only what is filmed or happens is actual canon. And some actors prepare more than others but almost all good actors do some prep beyond reading the script.</blockquote>
