If they had told me I was the janitor and would have to mop up and clean the toilets after the show in order to play, I probably would have done it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It was a JOB; the video show was a JOB; you don't tell the Aristocrats joke at 8 o'clock at night on network tv, it would be funny though. But those guys know I like dirty stuff, I like clean stuff too.
Unless an entire row of people got up in the middle of a performance and left the theater in disgust, I felt as though I hadn't done my job.
I'd find it demeaning to be cleaning toilets.
At the premieres, I always watch the audience. If a child asks to go to the bathroom, I know I've failed.
You might be the best Hamlet of your generation in the bathroom, but unfortunately, you have to come out and do it on stage, and it's best to do it to people who would fill the house.
As an actor... at some point you've got to forget that the crew's there in order to do your job.
Working crew made me realise that the actors are a very small part of a very big machine, with each part being vital to make the show work. It so important to remember that it's not about you, it's about the show, and working crew hammered that point home to me.
It was both comforting and terrifying to go in to audition for 'The Girl in the Cafe,' as I'd worked with everyone in the room on 'State Of Play.'
I would have given up acting in a minute. I didn't like how it set me apart from other people.
Yup, the toilet is my best friend before a show.
