The crushing, pitiful, and frequently just plain risible pathos of an unsuccessful actor/performer's life is well charted.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think as an actor, you're constantly putting yourself out there, and a lot of times failing - and failing in front of a bunch of people - and sometimes you have a good moment and something clicks.
But all actors go through the process, it's hit and miss, you have achievement and failure.
And, I may add, from what totally unexpected sources come many of those who from the comparatively modest beginning in the chorus rise to the heights of really great achievement in the theatrical profession.
People need to realise what real happiness and success is, because success as an actor is fleeting. You can be up there one day and gone the next.
Often you get wonderful singers who maybe aren't as strong as actors, or you get wonderful actors who can't sing very well.
You suffer as an actor. It's difficult to be an actor and live a good life, especially today.
I think the periods of being unsuccessful have made me a better actor.
Famous, adj.: Conspicuously miserable.
The life of an actor can be very enviable.
Unsuccessful people are the ones who are impressed by celebrity, by people's names and titles.
