WHY SHOULD SOME ACTORS JUST QUIT:

IN MY OPINION:

WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

WHY SHOULD SOME ACTORS JUST QUIT:

I wanna talk about what doesn’t get talked about>>: quitting acting!!  People in the industry, even coaches and teachers, won’t go there.

Because it’s scary. It’s personal. And because industry-related businesses rely on actors being actors, even if it’s time for them to move on. I’m not here to convince you to quit acting; if you have zero doubts about your career and how it affects the rest of your life, stop reading now.

But if you’ve ever struggled, doubted, second-guessed, or questioned your career as an actor, then let’s take a minute to get real. Every actor I’ve ever spoken with one-on-one admits that at some point she’s questioned his/her career choice. And I think that’s a good thing. You’re an actor because you’re the question-asking type. You didn’t go for a traditional job. You had a vision, you worked your ass off to chase it, and you’re still here. That’s to be commended.  What’s not to be commended is when you keep chasing at the expense of what’s best for you. And guess what? If don’t want to act anymore? It doesn’t mean that you’re a failure or a sell-out. What no one tells you when you’re starting out: your dreams can change. but sometimes your priorities change., or it's just not fun anymore..WHATEVER!! 

And here is one thing that never stops to amaze me...REGARDLESS OF WHOMEVER YOUR AGENT IS, BIG OR SMALL..SOME WANT TO BLAME THE AGENT...IT COULD NOT POSSIBLY BE THEIR OWN FAULT. IT HAS TO BE SOMEONE ELSE'S.
