It's very difficult being an actor and being away for a lot of time, but my sons haven't complained too much too often.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I can't complain. I'm making a living out of what I do, which is really rare for a lot of actors. The hard part is staying confident and staying with it.
One of the tough things about being an actor, probably the hardest thing, is getting your foot in the door, and my father handled that for me at a very early age.
After working for a couple of years, I have realised how much hard work it takes to become an actor, and my father has gone through it all these years. It's draining, both physically and mentally, but he makes it look so effortless.
I'm sure it's not great fun for them, or for any parent, when their child says they want to be an actor, 'cos it's quite an uncertain business and it can be terribly hard for most actors.
Child actors come off as work being their life and doing it 24/7, but I still have those days where it's totally, like, whatever: shopping, movies, adventures.
I have no complaints with the whole childhood acting thing, because I wanted to do it.
When you're younger, the mental strain of being a successful actor, jumping from role to role, and trying to have some kind of personal life, can really be terrible.
Becoming an actor is like becoming a father. It's not hard to become one. Making a life of it is the challenge.
I can see why there's a misconception that it's easier when your parents are actors, but it doesn't work out at all. In fact, it's the reverse.
The hardest thing in acting is going from child actor to adult actor. It's taken me a long time.
