“It became clear to me this year, that if I were to continue fighting for parts (what I used to call ‘auditioning’), I’d be doing so for roles that exploit my talent and reputation for a drastically diminishing return.

I came up in a time where movie studios and TV networks, no matter how big, were still mom & pop store entities.”
