After working for years in Hollywood where the actors have taken over, it was a real relief to get down there and not only have some children, but also have some actors that had no attitude.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
At times, I feel sorry for kids who have succumbed in some kind of way to being a child actor.
As for Hollywood children, their social life can get a little overboard, just like their parents can. Living in town, you attend so many functions.
With acting, you see some of the kids are literally just off the street, untrained, and they are great. And others are off the street, untrained, and kind of horrible.
I could have gone the route of a lot of these former child actors, but I didn't want that for myself. Like I said, when I was 14 years old, I decided to quit. I didn't ever want to do it again.
I can't say I was unhappy as a child actor in films. I had a particularly wonderful time.
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.
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.
I think having children in general is always very helpful for acting.
There are not a lot of sons or daughters of actors who have made it. Hollywood is awash with failures.
Most child actors go through that. Unless you can transition into an adult star, your career is over.
