A lot of my mates are actors and it's lovely to be able to work with friends.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sure, I have a lot of friends that are actors. Just because I guess I run into a lot of actors in my work.
Most of my good friends are my friends from high school or childhood, and they're not actors - they have 9-to-5 jobs. But I've obviously, over time, developed friendships with actors. It's two completely different worlds.
Being an actor is often very tedious, which is why it helps hugely if your fellow cast members are also good friends.
Some of my oldest friends are actors. But that's not the only place my friends come from.
I'm very social. It's just most of my friends are not actors.
It's difficult sometimes to become friends with actors.
I had friends who were actors. I had some close friends who are actors before I had fallen into it. And but I never approached anybody about doing it. But once I had been approached, I said, 'Sure and I'll give it a go.'
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've made great friends through acting. When I'm with Victoria Wood and Julie Walters, we have grand fun. We can make each other howl with laughter because we know each other so well.
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.
