When you start working on a series, it's almost too much work. It's like a movie a week.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The thing with being on a series that runs that long is that the writers run out of things to do.
I don't watch the beginnings of many series; I don't know why - maybe because I'm normally working.
Series work is just grueling.
I never thought about being on a series before. It seemed like such a big commitment. But I love going to work every day. This is not about ego, it's about work, and that's refreshing in this town.
It is quite different, but I love doing a series because you get to live with a character for a much longer amount of time. And the other aspect of it is that you have a steady job.
It suits me to be in a series that takes ages to film.
Film work can be tedious and sort of all over the place, especially when you have a family and you're going off and doing things somewhere else.
When you're on a series, it's tough to go on and do something else afterward. If you're smart, save your money and you can wait out the bad times, until something else comes along.
With a series, keeping the quality high and writing incredibly fast, that's the first lesson you learn. You can't be real precious. When you're doing a feature film, you have 2 1/2 months; you sort of take your time. It's a different animal.
On a television show, you basically make a movie a week. Movies take three months - it's crazy. They're so slow, it's like vacation to me.
