I would say take any work you can get. Don't pass on something if it's a commercial. Take it. Work really does lead to other work. Especially if you're just starting out, work begets work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Commercials are art, too; they're 30-second movies starring people like me. If you look down on the medium, you're never going to book. If you don't love it, do not bother. Find another job you like.
I got my agents right out of school, and I booked my first commercial right away. It was always enough to not quit and do something else.
I could probably make more money if I did more commercial projects.
I know a lot of people who have tremendous commercial success and they go directly for it. There's something that has always been difficult about that for me.
I get offered to do stuff where the money's nice but it's not something I want to do - I get offered a lot of commercials too.
Good work is good work wherever it's done, in a play, a motion picture or television, and that includes commercials.
I have done a Hamburger Helper commercial, a Hardees commercial, a McDonalds commercial. American Express commercial.
I don't feel I'm making a conscious effort to go more commercial.
If there's one thing I've always taken care of with my work, it's that it's never an advertisement for anything other than the work itself and for the people it's about - no 'Coca-Cola presents.'
Hmm mmm I mean, work is work, I'll take whatever work I can get.
