After 9/11 and the impending actors' strike of a few years ago, roles dried up for everyone.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I used to have a lot of philosophies of acting; they all fell apart over the years.
Even the greatest actors have had dry spells where they've wondered if they were going to work again.
A lot of actors flame out.
Part of the reason why so many actors lose the plot when they go over to America is that they become part of an industry, so that's why they don't want to play weak, bad or vulnerable guys - because that's not sellable; that diminishes their profit margin.
The DC 9/11: Time of Crisis film was hard to get the part; I had to audition three times. It was very serious and very sobering. We studied and tried to re-create all the stuff that we all saw that day.
I know certain actors who have done very well. They are still down to earth.
It was always part of the plan to move into acting.
I've worked with the greatest actors, and they're all gone. This is what's so desperate to me.
I mean, you know, actors lives - you're forgotten. Look at Barrymore, and look at all the great actors. They're forgotten after awhile.
Character actors are becoming a thing of the past. They're just going by the wayside. They're just cutting through that caliber of acting.
