All of my girlfriends have been actors, and I've realized that maybe it's not for me - and find something else outside of the industry.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't want to be involved with an actor because I know how they are. I've had problems in the past being with guys who haven't had any success or haven't made as much money, and it's very uncomfortable.
If you want to have more options as an actor, you just need to watch your weight, and I've ignored that fact for several years quite happily. Now the chicks have come home to roost.
Really, you want to have variety as an actor. If you spend your career doing one thing solidly, people get burned out.
At some point, you're just happy to be a working actor, but to be able to do it with people you really love and enjoy spending time with, it's just such a rare thing. You hear so many horror stories.
There are a handful of actors who sustain interest because it's exciting to watch them get better at what they do. I want to be one of those actors.
And so I've always been fascinated by the technical end of theater, and a lot of my closest friends are not actors, but in the other end of the business.
I honestly don't have a lot of friends that are actors. Most of my friends I've known since sixth grade and are out of the industry. It gives me a sense of reality rather than surrounding myself with a bunch of actors.
It's not like suddenly, when you become a working actor all your friends are in the same situation. I have friends who are still handing out flyers for their one-woman show and trying to make ends meet.
Most of my friends aren't actors - and not one of them is overly impressed with what I do.
There's a lot of actors out there or people who want to be actors. It's unique to find somebody that, you know, needs to be an actor.
