You get thought of in terms of your last job. So if my last job is that of a meat cleaver-wielding character, I will hardly be cast as some benign, older gentleman.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm essentially a jobbing actor. If I'm out of work, I'll be the back end of a donkey.
It's always possible as an actress that your last job could really be your last job.
Right now, I love the fact that I have so many opportunities, but I know this privileged position cannot last. That doesn't mean that I'll stop working. I picture myself as an old actress doing cameos in films with people saying: 'Isn't that that Bening woman?'
I consider myself a very lucky actor that, approaching 60, I'm still employed and employable.
Every time I do something, I worry it's my last job.
More often than not, I get cast as quite Machiavellian roles - it's something about my face; I'm quite shifty or something!
As an actor, you always think your last job is your last job, and you're always doubting yourself and worried that people will see you're a fraud.
There was no last animal I treated. When young farm lads started to help me over the gate into a field or a pigpen, to make sure the old fellow wouldn't fall, I started to consider retiring.
I'm the third or fourth generation of actor in my family; I'm sure if they were butchers, I'd be a butcher, too.
I'm a boring guy who's got a great job in a profession that still gives me a great deal of pleasure after 35 years.
