You have film actors doing TV, rap stars doing TV, with everyone kind of crossing the line.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It used to be that you kind of got pigeonholed into one thing - you're either a stage actor or a TV actor or a movie actor. Today, there's a lot of crossover with film actors doing television, which never happened before, so those lines are a little bit more blurred than they used to be.
In this country, you have movie actors and theatre actors and television actors.
Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting.
Well, TV series tie you up. You can't do films while you're doing a TV series.
Film people are coming into TV, because they can't get any work.
The point of being a movie star is that people cast you in a role. Actors tie themselves in knots trying to get out of that.
Movie stars are doing TV series, and former TV stars are doing guest shots. Everybody gets bumped down the line. That's affected everyone in the industry. I've been lucky; I've stayed busy. I'll cross my fingers until it's my turn to be sitting around, not working. I'm sure that'll happen, too.
I've done a lot of TV, but not film.
I work with a lot of movie stars.
You get pigeonholed. Some people are film stars, and some are theatre stars who do one-off telly. Somehow, I get into long-running series.
