I've worked for 27 years nonstop in theater and films. That's a lot of work.
It's a blessing and a curse. But it's not always the best situation to be in. As a profession, I don't recommend acting at all.
Maybe you don't work for seven months a year, but you'll work again. It may be a piece of garbage, so you wear hip boots.
My dream as a youngster was to be like Olivier. To be a great stage actor. To be a great Shakespearean actor. To me that is the Olympics of acting.
The whole industry is so screwed up by economics. It's disgusting to me.
