I don't want to sound too bleeding heart, because I know how lucky I've been, but I never knew how hard it was to be the lead in a television show.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never wanted to be the lead on a TV drama. It just robs you of your life, really.
I constantly have anxiety about being the lead of the show. I don't talk about it because it scares me. But I've always wanted to be part of something where I could work on a character in such a big manner, and you get offered that with all the trappings of being the lead of the show.
As the lead actor, you naturally get involved with a show.
I kind of fell into acting. I was very lucky.
I was initially a leading man, but only on television.
I kind of got into TV when I went to visit a show my brother was working on. Soon I got the second lead in a TV show.
Honestly, I wish I'd known just how hard it is and how competitive the acting world is. I took my time; I went at my own pace. That's been helpful over the years, but also, I didn't quite realize how incredible everyone else was going to be: the level of competition and everyone's skill.
I always knew I'd be more of a character actor than a leading man, and I always wanted to take that and run with it.
It is hard to be an actor on a TV show, because you don't know what's coming and you sort of find out very last minute sort of what's happening.
I've always felt like I've been in good shows.
