However, I'm at a very comfortable place in my career and celebrity, in that I don't have to audition as extensively as I used to for roles but yet I'm not immediately recognizable.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't often get recognized for my work, but I look familiar. I'm just a working-man actor. I go and audition, and you just hope the work keeps coming.
As an actor, there's very little you can do if people don't want to see you. Just getting yourself into the room to audition is tough.
You think you can go into all those auditions not knowing who you are? The work came after I found my sense of self - when I wasn't so manic and desperate.
I've never had a desire to be famous. Lots of actors are actually extremely shy. I have shy areas.
Auditioning is extremely bizarre. Just being an actor is extremely bizarre, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I've been working as an actress and sort of struggling along for ten years, so I've been on a million auditions for a million things I haven't booked.
I wish I knew that when I go in for an audition and I don't get the part, it actually doesn't have to do with me on a personal level.
I actually love auditioning because I usually don't get the part. I've tested with Daniel Day-Lewis, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Tom Cruise. So I've gotten to that point, and I understand when I don't get it. There are a lot of very talented people out there.
I found out that you could audition by sending a picture of yourself and some information to Newsround.
I'm never offered any sort of roles. I need to audition in a typically lengthy process to receive roles.
