I can do lovers. I can do Sir Galahad types. I'm not going to limit myself in voice-overs to irascible old men.
From Ed Asner
I'm not sought after. I never get enough work. It's the history of my career. There just isn't anything to turn down, let me put it that way.
I regard myself as a beautiful musical instrument, and my role is to contribute that instrument to scripts worthy of it.
To my knowledge, there is no blacklist. But there is a mindset, even among liberal producers, that says 'He may be difficult, so let's avoid him.'
Always keep yourself engaged, in theater, in whatever job you can get.
If you can't get an acting job, then go backstage. Or take tickets.
