I have the absolute utmost respect for soap opera actors now. They work harder than any actor I know in any other medium. And they don't get very much approbation for it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is a bit of a 'once a soap actor always a soap actor' thing, but I do think people still recognise talent. If you're good at something, then people have no choice but to accept it.
I have a lot of respect for my fellow young actors. It takes a lot to push forward after being told no a million times, and that was what we all have to go through. So those who push deserve respect.
Soaps are a great springboard for any actor but if you want to be taken seriously, you have to be careful.
It's a little daunting coming on to work with actors that you respect so much.
Soap Actors are fun and interesting. They all have something special that you want to be around.
I really respect actors much more now that I am one because I realise what hard work goes into being part of the industry.
I have nothing but admiration for the actors on soap operas. It is unbelievably challenging to put out an hour show in one day.
The general view is that actors start on soaps and then maybe graduate to prime-time television or film; normally you don't see a film actor going to do a soap.
I like soap opera acting. If it's done really well, there's nothing better. It's old school. It's like what those melodramas in the '30s and '40s were like.
If you have to be in a soap opera try not to get the worst role.
