I'm an actor that loves to eat on camera. I love it. Something about the act of eating means that you actually can't act as much. You have to be involved in the very real task of trying to ingest sustenance without choking and dying. Something about that process takes the heat off trying to act and often feels more natural.
I'm an actor who loves to get physical so any role that allows me to access that is glorious.
As an actor, you are at the mercy of others for what role you can be seen for and then what you will be cast in.
You have to have hope and be sensitive to be good in your work, but it is difficult to withstand all the blows when you are sensitive and have hope.
