The average person in Hollywood just assumes that if you're on a hit TV show, then that's the first thing you've ever done.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People just assume that if you're famous, you're in Hollywood.
One day, you're a nobody, and the next, you're in a movie that everybody is talking about. But Hollywood has a way of knocking you back down to Earth.
People get on a show and they fought tooth and nail. Almost 95% of the actors out there want to be on a television series. Then as soon as they get onto one, no, no, I want to be a movie star. This television series stuff, no, no no.
You've gotta play the Hollywood game, and you know you're doing good the more notoriety you're getting, and that's gold. That's what every actor wants because then you know you're at another level.
It's a very odd thing with Hollywood, where you do stand-up, you're good at it, then they go, 'How would you like to be a horrible actor?' Then you say, 'All right, that sounds good. I'll do that.'
Hollywood is so governed by the ego, and I never wanted to fall into that trap.
Hollywood people want to build you up and make you famous only to knock you off you're the pedestal they built for you.
Hollywood is like living in a weird bubble. A bunch of people take care of you and get you stuff, and you're the center of that little microcosmic world. You start believing that it is real and... you deserve it.
I didn't become an actor to be famous. I genuinely love acting and never expected to make a penny at it.
The way Hollywood works, you're never sure if their first thought is to make a great film and honor the material or just another business property.
