but it's somewhat mitigated by the fact that no one gives a crap about you.

I think being an actor would be crazy stressful unless you were either on the A list or at least had a recurring role on a solid tv show. Actors seem to make a lot of stuff that never gets seen, or have scenes that never make the film or tv show or whatever. I don't think I'd like the constant auditioning that seems to be a basic part of the career.

When I think about this stuff, I often remember the interview Kevin Costner gave about all the great people he worked with while filming The Big Chill. A movie where every scene of his was removed during editing. I assume he was paid for the work, but it must have been a bit of a shock to discover he wasn't in the movie where he was the main character.

lol. I am watching LOST for the first time, up to season 2, and I sometimes laugh at all the extras running around trying to give their best "surprised" and "oh look!" faces when the main characters are talking
