You know, when you choose to make your living as an actor, it's all fine and good to look at it as some kind of artistic endeavor. At its best, it is that.

I looked in the audience. There were no strangers. Everybody was singing and cheering and hugging. That was a beautiful picture to look at. ↗

Now, what does an actor who can't talk do? Wait for silent pictures to come back? ↗

When you're making pictures out of heartfelt passion, it hurts when someone calls them a calculated business move. ↗
