But so much of being an actor isn't so great - the auditioning, the rejection, the financial insecurity.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Being an actor is mostly about rejection and being out of work. It was a fast lesson in all of that stuff.
I have friends that are much better actors than I am that had to quit the business because they couldn't survive the auditions or the rejections, or people just didn't realize how good they were.
I think most actors are insecure and scared of rejection.
Actors are an insecure breed. It's hard to have your career depend upon other people's opinions of what you do.
I don't like other actors much. The industry tends to attract insecure, needy people.
You have to keep persevering. An actor goes to a lot of auditions and doesn't get the part.
As an actor, sometimes you've gotta take the jobs that you may not want to do. It's so hard to work as an actor.
Being an actor is just like being any other sort of self-employed person - we're all just happy to have a job in the first place, but we also thrive off the uncertainty of it.
The reason I wanted to be an actor is that I don't want to play me for the rest of my life and make money out of that.
Let's face facts, this is visual medium, there's a very high premium put on people who are good-looking. But the minute you rely on that you get yourself in trouble. You certainly don't make a career out of that anymore as an actor.
