A lot of people are surprised to hear that an actor studied for two or three years. They take the craft for granted and wanna just wake up and be an actor.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
After I began to explore what an actor actually is, I studied for three years before I had the guts to go on an audition.
It's such a luxury as an actor to think of your career as something you're choosing for yourself, because so much of the time as an actor you're just hoping that exciting projects come your way.
A lot of actors know they want to be actors a little bit earlier on. I didn't even really start studying until I was about 22.
There's a lot of actors out there or people who want to be actors. It's unique to find somebody that, you know, needs to be an actor.
As an actor, your life experience is just as important as studying.
There are a handful of actors who sustain interest because it's exciting to watch them get better at what they do. I want to be one of those actors.
As an actor, you just want to continue to work on things that you like. You can be in this business a long time and consistently working and just be totally artistically unfulfilled.
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.
It is a tough business but if you get yourself in a situation like I, you can maintain a career over many years. That, to me, is a successful actor.
Most actors spend a lot of time training themselves to be an actor. And I kind of didn't do that.
