I know actors with promising careers who get blown out of the business, never to return.

I know I may never emerge as a leading man.

I recognize my physical limitations, but I am an actor who is able to transform himself into someone else.

On the stage, you enter into a bond with the audience, and you can sense they are moved by what you're doing. It's a sweet return.

If you lost a major actor because of a broken jaw, the project collapses.

The director can't do your job for you. He can't get in front of the camera and perform your part.
