The lifestyle that comes with being an actor in a successful TV show isn't something I gravitate toward.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Actors create a fantastic lifestyle thinking they're going to be able to maintain it. Then they can't get work or have to start taking work that doesn't suit them.
I'm sure one reason I became an actor is my basic unwillingness to live one life.
I'm a career actor. And I question this constant reliance on TV fame and celebrity.
I didn't really have any aspirations to do TV when I first decided to be an actor.
I admire a lot of actors, but I don't covet people's careers.
I was always enamored with TV shows and movies. But you didn't grow up in my town and turn into an actor.
Actors always have things that they're not thrilled about on a show and have a hobby of bellyaching about those things.
Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are affected more by the idea of fame than the actual work ethic involved. A lot of them just want to be reality TV-type people who don't do anything.
Really, you want to have variety as an actor. If you spend your career doing one thing solidly, people get burned out.
I've always felt like the reason I became an actor is because I look for more high drama than what I had at home.
