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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There's a lot of actors out there or people who want to be actors. It's unique to find somebody that, you know, needs to be an actor.
As an actor, as you grow into where you fit in the industry, you're just trying to find the opportunities, hoping they grow and you get to do more.
Wanting to be an actor and wanting to be famous are different.
When you work with actors, what you're hoping to absorb is good ways to be an actor as opposed to how to handle being famous.
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.
If you want to be an actor, you have to do it because you love acting, not because you want to be a celebrity.
Sometimes I think being an actor is like being a dog for a director; it's like they throw a stick, and you want to fetch it and bring it back to them. You want a pat on the head for it.
I haven't been in a position to have the luxury to pick roles for most of my career, so I'm not practiced in that. Usually, when you want to be an actor, you take whatever comes along. If there's an audition, you go for it. If you get the job, you do it - just to get experience, to act, to meet people.
To have a job you can count on as an actor is so rare, whether that means belonging to a regional theater company or being on TV.
As an actor, of course, you want to be in something that's successful.
