It's really important for actors to feel that they're more than something for hire.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Actors always think that others are getting more work than them. In my case, they usually are.
The big thing for actors is the level of commitment.
Actors make less than you think.
From my experience, I think that every actor has to make sure that they're in charge of their own career somehow or other.
Actors are people who are doing a job they want to do, which isn't the case for many of the people who watch what we do.
Being an actor is just like being any other sort of self-employed person - we're all just happy to have a job in the first place, but we also thrive off the uncertainty of it.
You're always aware that only eight per cent of actors are in work at one time, so you've got to be thankful for the job you've got and do the best you can.
I think it's the actor's job - when you think of being typecast or getting out of the shadow of whatever you've had success in - it's up to you as an actor. The industry will always want to hire you for what you were successful in last and what made money. But you can say no to that and look for other parts.
Anytime you get to work with an actor who is beyond you in experience and talent, I feel like they make you a better actor. You really bring up your game.
Most actors feel only one way. We're just grateful to have a job.
