Absolutely not, because in acting I've found a domain that suits me perfectly. And that is so utterly rare.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The thing I learned about being in this industry is the core of hosting and the core of acting is authenticity. So if you're just real in those moments, no matter what you're doing, that's what translates and makes you successful.
But no, I love acting, it's a wonderful job.
Acting is a whole boatload of fun, but I prefer to do it on my own terms.
Acting has always existed alongside my normal life. It's been a case of learning on the job. I've worked in so many styles, with so many people, so I've picked bits up from everyone and everything.
I don't know if this is why everything has worked so well and I'm not sure I'd recommend this kind of thinking to anyone else, but I've always known I'd be successful in acting. I have certainly worked for it.
When I started acting, my whole focus and intention was to work as a stage actor in a company where you're asked to different roles - do a comedy, do a tragedy, etc. I haven't had any reservations about jumping from one type of genre to another.
I will never be a career actor, I don't think. I don't feel that I have the skill set to jump into it that way, although I wouldn't mind giving it a try.
There's a lot of creative freedom. Acting is a whole boatload of fun, but I prefer to do it on my own terms.
I think if you're a competent actor with a good imagination, and if it's on the page, it makes your job a lot easier.
Acting is a strange profession, and, yes, sometimes I struggle with its worth, its value in the world.
