Acting is a hard job, would you want it?

I think there is a Plenty Much less demanding jobs.

For example those that don’t include public scrutiny. Or don’t require long hours of often close to unbearable conditions. Too hot too cold too long... all of that. Recreating and often also reliving traumatizing situations in front of other people. Sounds horrific. Brining vulnerability to the set and showing it to other people- that’s hard. Not to mention showing parts of your body to the world.

I think it’s a job most see as glamorous without seeing the boring yet exhausting long hours of repetition and searching and beating your soul.

And all the rejection oh so much rejection each actor has faced in their lives.

And only the top 1% makes it. The rest is working two jobs, gives up or gets paid just ok money maybe for a decade or two before progressing anywhere. And they still do it. Respect. That’s real passion.

Imagine being told no or you suck the first 1-2 decades of your professional life and getting paid shit or nothing for it. Would you really still do it?
