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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing about being an actor is that every new job is a new challenge. Sometimes you'll have a shot, and it doesn't work. Sometimes it'll work better than you expected.
As an actor, sometimes you've gotta take the jobs that you may not want to do. It's so hard to work as an actor.
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.
I think the hardest thing about being an actor is between jobs when you don't know and wondering if you'll ever work again. It's kind of a crazy business.
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.
I don't think an actor's job is to be recognized. I think an actor's job is to facilitate the writing in a way that changes the way people think. No other business does that.
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.
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'm not one of these million-dollar actors. I have always been just a working actor. I probably work more than I would like to.
I definitely don't see myself as an actor. I don't even have it on my passport. I've got 'writer and electrician' on my passport. I don't want anyone to think I'm an actor.
