shanewests:I love being a part of the industry at the age that I’m currently in, to be able to witness all this. When I started, […] we started at a time when film and television had always been the same—film was always the thing. Television was where you made money—where some actors retired, where soap operas were killing it every day, just sweeping up the ratings—and films were where a lot of theatrical actors wanted to go. It was such a competitive time, but everyone had a chance to audition. I had opportunities to go in for lead roles in movies with no background and fight for them legitimately. And have directors go, “You know what? We kind of like Shane.” “Are you gonna hire him?” “No.” “But he’s just a kid, maybe he’ll turn out to be something one day.” And that’s kind of how the business always was. It was so much—I sound like an old man now—but so much better then. Now, if you’re brand new and trying to act, you can’t even get an audition because all sorts of famous movie actors decided to do television. -- source link
