I used to watch actors and say, 'You poor suckers, that job looks miserable.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been on jobs where there's that one actor who is just a miserable, miserable no-good, dirty bastard, and it just turns the whole process sour.
Being unemployed is not good for an actor. No, it isn't, no matter how unsuccessful you are. Because you always remember getting fired from all the restaurants. You remember that stuff very, very strongly.
I can't complain. I'm making a living out of what I do, which is really rare for a lot of actors. The hard part is staying confident and staying with it.
I know actors who have had to turn down good roles because they just don't pay enough. It's hard.
I always say this - As an actor, we're lucky to get a job. Then we're lucky that anybody gives a damn to watch the thing that we're in.
You know, I always say this - As an actor, we're lucky to get a job. Then we're lucky that anybody gives a damn to watch the thing that we're in.
When I was an actor, I worked with lots of men who had a bit of success early on, who were very good looking, who suddenly made a bit of money and who felt no embarrassment - and nor should they have done - about having a good time.
I can be a horrible actor, but I make a move that makes a money I'm secured a job.
You can see some very great theatre actors who don't work at all well on screen. They're trying too hard at it.
I mean, I hate when actors talk about how hard their job is. It's ridiculous, because we have the best job in the world.
