You don't take a job in acting at all expecting 25 years in and a pension.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Although just being employed as an actor is a big thing, I'm not sure I'd be satisfied playing the same character for 30 years; it's not why I want to do this for a living.
I consider myself a very lucky actor that, approaching 60, I'm still employed and employable.
It's not that I'm retired; I just no longer accept acting work.
Chase your passion, not your pension.
Your job as an actor is to stay employed.
But it's hard to sustain a successful acting career today.
Acting is a youthful profession.
I hope to be an actor and never retire.
I don't think actors ever retire, they just stop being asked to work.
Actors never retire, they just get less and less work.
