Most actors nowadays are models turned actors. That's why a lot of young actors are terrible. You have to learn how to act. It is not something that you can just do.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most young actors, that's all they're trying to do: Get better at acting and be able to keep doing it. And that doesn't work out for most people.
My advice to young actors is to push yourself and to aspire to be great.
Don't get too set on becoming an actor at an early age. I think that's where some people get into trouble. Acting becomes their life. I don't want that.
I always think it's hard for any young actor to make that transition to more grown-up roles. Because you don't want to alienate your audience who has been supportive of you for so many years, so you kind of have to tiptoe through that process.
The thing about being an actor is that you turn into other people. You have to hide yourself a bit in order to let that other person come out.
My advice to young actors is probably to do some theatre; definitely do that. I keep running into these actors who have never been on stage, and it's invaluable for an actor. What you will learn about yourself is huge.
As an actor, acting is like playing a sport. You do this thing that's intangible, and while it's happening, it's great. But then when it's done, there's really no tangible product. Someone else is capturing it and turning it into something tangible.
I'm a young actor and I haven't learned everything there is about acting.
As an actor, sometimes you've gotta take the jobs that you may not want to do. It's so hard to work as an actor.
Young actors are pretty fantastic. I can't even imagine doing stuff like that when I was a kid.
