It is possible to work out of New York on film and television and still not lose your connection to theater.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you want to see theater you go to New York.
Theater is very much the world I'd like to get back to, particularly in New York, both as an actor and director.
I trained in theater. I loved Los Angeles, but I've found New York to be successful for me.
I have been to the theater more since I have lived in New York than I ever really did in London working on a television show.
Everything has combined to make my life in New York an amazing experience. I told my manager a few years ago that I wanted to move here and try acting in the theater.
I always thought moving to New York would mean starting over in theater, because I had great work in Chicago and didn't want to become a waitress here.
I always wanted to have a career that would keep me at home in New York so I can work in the theater all the time and be involved in the creative process from the ground up.
You can shoot a film in New York without seeing the Empire State Building. Or Starbucks... although the latter is much less realistic.
I moved to LA and decided to do films and television, mainly because the theater in New York is totally dead.
If movies are set in New York, they really should be shot in New York.
