Character actors have a long shelf life.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't like when people said that actresses have shelf life.
You know, I really enjoy longevity. I see actors in their forties and they just turn out these really fabulous roles and characters. You know who they are, but you wouldn't necessarily know their names.
The life of an actor can be very enviable.
A lot of factors go into the longevity of a show.
An acting career usually has about a shelf life of ten years before people get sick of seeing you. It's a good thing to have a job to fall back on and I really do enjoy directing.
I think as an actor you're lucky to have any film take on a life of its own long after it's left the theater.
Actors don't, in fact, retire, do they? It took me a while to remember that.
The shelf life of a movie actor or actress is so short, it's like milk.
I don't think actors ever retire, they just stop being asked to work.
Actors never retire, they just get less and less work.
