The Actor’s Complex
Have you ever met an actor that seems to have a complex about themselves? They believe that they are the best actor or actress in the world and that you are being blessed simply because you are in their presence. I have a theory that was proposed by friend of mine that said ALL actor’s have this complex. However, it’s to varying degrees. I’ll admit, that sometimes I feel like the top dog of the stage, but in the end I’m just as good as anyone else who’s not on Broadway. But then you have others who assume that after a two month dry spell (because they “know” they won’t be cast once they get to New York) they will be cast as the lead in “Legally Blonde: The Musical” (which I’m sorry, I don’t consider a real musical in the slightest. “Oh my God, Oh my God you guys”?….SERIOUSLY!?)
Words of wisdom for rising actors. Just do what you love. To do theatre simply to be famous is dumb since the majority of us will not make it. Do it because it’s what you love to do and I promise it will be more satisfying.
Or don’t! Haha, keep your actor’s complex. It makes me laugh and gives my friend and I something to talk about!
