Film actors reach a certain level, but they don't get beyond it unless they work in the theater.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There are a lot of people out there who offer roles to actors because they'll elevate their movie to a place the movie would never reach.
Personally speaking there's only so long you can go from film to film to film. There's an inspiration an actor gets from the stage.
I guess you can say that every actor is a 'character actor' on some level. But I think some actors have a wider range. I think that's how you get that mantle.
Actors have to be there and do the work, and that's enough.
Actors always think that others are getting more work than them. In my case, they usually are.
You work really hard to make it, and maybe you get some acclaim, but then you realize there are certain limitations as an actor.
You can see some very great theatre actors who don't work at all well on screen. They're trying too hard at it.
Being a film actor is very different from a theatre actor.
As an actor, as you grow into where you fit in the industry, you're just trying to find the opportunities, hoping they grow and you get to do more.
Film actors are, by nature, more complicated than stage actors.
