Probably the best part about being an actor is that you get to be a traveling wanderer.
That's the best part about being an actor though. One of the rewarding aspects of it is you're actually traveling in parts of the world that one wouldn't necessarily go to just because it's so far removed, but also like even beyond the metropolitan areas. You're in the woods.
Part of what's cool about being an actor or being in this industry, frankly, is to be able to travel to distant lands. That's part of the deal. I always thought when I was growing up, "I wanna be an actor and go see the world.'
Working at home is always best. Traveling is the hardest part of my job - I say I don't get paid to wrestle, because that's the fun part. I get paid to travel.
The best situation is being a single parent. The best part about is that you get time off, too, because the kids are with their mom, so it's the best of both worlds. There's a lot to be said for it.
The best part about traveling for work is that it's better than sitting behind a desk!
The hardest part about traveling for work is that I'm a big guy, so traveling is sometimes uncomfortable for me.
That's just part of the blessing of being an actor: you get to learn so many things about life.
The only thing hard about being an actor is being out of work. So, when you get a job - that part ain't hard at all.
As an actor, it is okay to fall and get up. Then you can give your best. Sometimes audiences don't receive it well, but you have to take it in the right sense. It is part and parcel of being in the industry.
I was interested in being part of interesting stories. As an actor, you generally don't get to choose what projects you are part of, so I've been very fortunate that The Book of Mormon was something I got to be part of.
It's no good being the best actor in the world if nobody sees you because you didn't happen to be there at the right day when a part was being cast.
The human being that I strive to be is a great human being, like a loving human being, but as an actor, you take on roles that are not you and that's the fun part for me as far as acting goes. You really get to learn about other human beings and not judge.
You really have to get out of an actor's head to write because actors only care about their part and it revolves around their part so "This is the important part because this is the part where..." .
Every actor has a different temperament. Part of my job is to know what those boundaries are. The actor has to know you'll be there at the other end, that you're trying to represent them in the best light, who they are as they're harnessing these roles. The methods vary from actor to actor.
I think being recognized more is something you have to get used to, whether it's here or in California or when I'm traveling. It's more a part of my life. People recognize me from my play or a commercial I've done. It's just a normal part of life now.
Public perception changes with every film. That's the best part of being an actor.
