I don't think you have to be in these serious, heavy, independent little movies to be an actor. Some of the most interesting acting I've seen is on cable television.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As far as acting in films, there is not much out there that is very interesting to do. The ones that are interesting to me are independent films and they have trouble raising money. With people putting their money into blockbusters, there is not much left for the independents.
There is probably some great acting that goes on in movies from people who have never been on a stage, but if you are in for the long haul, you'd be missing an enormous part of what being an actor is if you're not part of theater.
I've done a lot of serious roles, but they're, like, independent, so it's harder for them to come out. The big ones have been comedies, but I would love to get a big drama to let people see the other side of me, that I am a serious actress.
The most fun you can possibly have as an actor is to walk that line between what's real and what's interesting.
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.
Right now, if you're interested in being a dramatic actor, they're not making that many just regular dramas. Movies have to have some other thing going on.
You might see some of the movies that I'm in where there are shades of drama or whatever, but for the most part, I don't get offered serious roles.
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.
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.
Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting.
