Not a lot of people make that transition from child actor to bigger, better roles.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To a certain extent I suppose all actors are big kids.
I always think it's hard for any young actor to make that transition to more grown-up roles. Because you don't want to alienate your audience who has been supportive of you for so many years, so you kind of have to tiptoe through that process.
A lot of child actors keep acting for the wrong reasons.
Growing up an only child with a single parent is probably why I'm an actor.
When you're a child, you're able to assimilate so easily into any situation. You even start talking like the people you're around. I wasn't conscious that I was so good at that until I started to truly feel like an actor.
I think when someone becomes an actor, people say, Aw, you could see it in him when he was little. But I think you can see that quality in every little kid.
In almost any profession, even if you're the kid of an actor, people are very supportive and want to see the next generation.
Most young actors, that's all they're trying to do: Get better at acting and be able to keep doing it. And that doesn't work out for most people.
Most child actors go through that. Unless you can transition into an adult star, your career is over.
All children are natural actors, and I'm still a kid. If you grow up completely, you can never be an actor.
