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?

Speaking as someone who has seen both sides of this particular fence (as an actor who earns his daily bread working for the Army) you really have no idea how similar the two are.
And how similar the ethos of the communities are as well.
Ignoring the wallpaper, both communities are VERY big on support for the adopted family and looking after 'your own'.
And I've seen many people who have left the one big family gravitate towards the other big family.
Any comments from those who've actually LIVED both sides of the fence? Lawrie? John? Carol? Phil?
