Everyone said that if you want to be a real actor, go to New York. If you want to sell out, go to LA. And I thought - I want to sell out!
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you go to Hollywood, you've already sold out.
Theater is very much the world I'd like to get back to, particularly in New York, both as an actor and director.
New York is a great place to be as an unrepresented actor because there are so many 'open auditions' that you can show up for without being submitted by an agent.
I live in Minnesota. Lots of people assume that if you want to be an actor, you have to live in Hollywood, but not me.
If you can't get an acting job, then go backstage. Or take tickets.
I'm an actor, coming from New York theater.
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.
Actors are sellers, and I figured out a long time ago that if you wanted to work a lot, you had to be on the buying side.
I live in New York, where people don't tend to go up to actors as much.
There's no real excuse for being successful enough as an actor to do what you want and then selling out. You do it pure. You don't try to adapt it, make it commercial.
