acting jobs
Why do actors stay on? Because they can at least be working actors, making a living. The streets of Hollywood are littered w/wannabes & people who had a little success, waiting for their next 'big break' while waiting tables, cleaning pools & anything else to make ends meet. Most actors know more unemployed actors than those able to make a living at their craft. Many are talented, deserving people, but the pool of talent is always much bigger than the number of roles available. They know that they are just a paycheck or two away from being back on the unemployment line or obscurity--neither being desireable.
Someone on mediadomain.com posted a q on why the actors choose to stay on such a bad soap like GH, and I can't help feel so bad for them. Just the thought there' sjust not enough work and shows to showcase the best talent and that talent being relegated to soaps. Yes once again I'm badmouthing soaps, just the idea I sooo want castmembers to receive accolades...and the way to do that is to get on primetime!
