I think that one of the most interesting things about being an actor is that you get to do a lot of interesting things. Sure, there’s the excitement of meeting other celebrities and gaining your own fan base. But I think that the things that you get to do as part of your various roles are the things that really make it worth it to try to get good at acting.

The really great actors get so into their characters that they become them for awhile. An actor who has to play a role as a Fiji scuba diver doesn’t just pretend to know how to do this. He’ll take lessons in Fiji diving. He’ll become that character. This is how he plays the character well because by going to dive in Fiji he’ll have a true understanding of what it’s like to live the life that he’s pretending to live.

Not all actors will do these cool things but the good ones do. They’re the ones that probably have the most fun with their jobs. At the end of the day, they may not be famous or remembered but they have a collection of awesome experiences to share with the people who love them.
