Why do we do it?
Mon, 9 June 2003, 05:35 pmWhat is that makes us want to have a career as an actor? Why do we need to act?
Personally it is the need to express myself fully through a character that interests me. The need to play and share that with someone else.
Then there is getting a chance to do things that you can't normally do in real life.
It's a chance to bring your creativity to life.
The journey you take as you explore these strange new worlds.
It's fun, it's challenging, it's interesting and it's an art where you never stop learning.
What about you?

Actually, I like and agree with most of the reasons that have been put forward here.
I don't know whether I NEED to act, specifically, but I DO need to do what I ENJOY.
For that reason, I've never had a job that I didn't really want to do; whether it's performing onstage, writing or playing music, driving a bus for a tour company, teaching people how to scuba dive, or leading camping expeditions for highschool kids, it's all been stuff I love doing.
That all might sound rather easy, just doing what you like...it's actually harder than it seems - the hardest part is committing to it.
I act because even the hard days are FUN.
...and I can turn up for work just wearing a t-shirt and tracky daks...
Cheers,
Craig
