So many people are called but few serve as actors, you know what I mean?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Actors are people who are doing a job they want to do, which isn't the case for many of the people who watch what we do.
Most actors and actresses are performative as people.
Some of the newer folks in the industry, I'm not sure they are familiar with the term acting. They don't understand what it means to play a character rather than just be a personality.
When audiences look at an action actor like myself, sometimes we are very easily stereotyped or characterized as one type. They forget that we are actors, too.
I want to make a clear distinction between people who take acting seriously and people who call themselves actors because they've been on reality TV or something.
People who call themselves actors and can't ever get work; they do need to get another profession.
I think there are a lot more writers who are actors than you know; they just don't have roles on famous TV shows that you recognize.
I think a lot of actors feel like outsiders or miscreants. This profession provides an opportunity to play out all the different parts of ourselves.
I think actors are divided into two groups: one that wants to be an actor to become famous and rich, and the other that wants to be an actor because they have to be. I'm more in the second group.
There are many actors who, whatever they do, they pretty much play themselves.
