When I interview somebody, I look at their resume to see what they've done, who they've worked with, and how many times. If they've gotten repeat work. Those are the kinds of actors I want to hire.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As an actor, you get hired to repeat yourself. It wears you out.
I think it's the actor's job - when you think of being typecast or getting out of the shadow of whatever you've had success in - it's up to you as an actor. The industry will always want to hire you for what you were successful in last and what made money. But you can say no to that and look for other parts.
Every actor I've worked with I want to work with again.
Interviews are good if you want to be an actor because they raise your profile.
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.
I have a growing resume, but it's because I'm very selective. There are a lot of actors in my position that are like me: they have an opportunity to make a lot of money early in their career, and they do that, and after that, there's nothing to sustain that. There's no art or interest in your craft from the people that want to see you.
Most of the early part of an actor's career, you do the jobs you get.
As an actor, you always want to find a piece of who you are in every role you take on.
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.
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.
