If they'll have me and the show does well, I could do this another two or three years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You do a show to be a hit and hopefully run a couple of years.
In my experience in series TV, if you have a good crew and a great cast, it's going to be a great group - similar to the theater where it's a bunch of people who are really talented and go to work each day and challenge each other, and if you are lucky enough to get a hit then it's five or six or seven years of this kind of work.
It's always difficult when you're on a show that goes for more than a year or a couple of years.
I firmly believe, only because I've been doing this for so long, every show takes three years. 90% of them don't get three years. It just does. It takes a long time to build a community, build a friendship with your characters. It's hard for people to grasp on and make them care about you.
I want to be on a show that's as good as the one we're doing and that we get to make for many years.
I think you just have to take everything that happens on a TV show with a grain of salt. You sign up for a show for six years having zero idea where they're going to go with the character, so you just have to get on the ride of the show and go with wherever they take you.
Realistically speaking, I don't know how many more years I will want to be acting or will be invited to be.
What I'm hoping to do and what I think I will do is make an entertaining enjoyable show where the whole family can sit down and watch.
If you do an American TV series, before the audition you sign away the next five years of your life.
You can take wonderfully talented actors, wonderfully talented writers and producers, and, uh, do a wonderful show!... but if it doesn't hit with the public in two minutes, it's bye-bye.
