My first professional acting job was on 'Boss'. My first acting job was basically my first acting class. I had to show up on set prepared and knowing my lines. Also, I got a chance to work with a living legend, Kelsey Grammar - that gave me hands on experience.

Rotimi

I started acting when I was 13, so acting has been, with great fortune, my job since I could get a job.

Carla Gugino

I'd also take any acting job...well, not any acting job, that's not true. I'd take a cool acting job.

Katie Aselton

I still have the desire to do the job of acting. It's just a matter of whether I'll be allowed to do the job of acting that remains to be seen. There are only so many brick walls that I'm willing to beat my head on.

Gary Coleman

I studied acting in school and then, of course, couldn't get an acting job.

Denis Leary

I studied acting in school and then of course couldn't get an acting job.

Denis Leary

I treat acting as my job. I say that, as I have found there is a beauty in separating yourself from the world and from acting.

Percelle Ascott

I stumbled into acting because a friend persuaded me to leave my 9 to 5 job and get into acting.

Fawad Khan

I am constantly asked, 'What's the difference between acting in the theater and acting in film?' The only answer I can give is the space - you adapt to the space. But acting is acting.

William Hurt

Any acting is a stretch of the imagination. That's your job. Acting is truth in imaginary circumstances. Acting with green screen or a motion capture stage, you're striving for absolute truth in absolutely imaginary circumstances.

Sam Worthington

Acting in particular is a fun job when you have a good script. I don't know about acting when you don't have a great script. I'm gonna say that's not a great job, it's kind of a dumb job. But when you have a good part in a good script, it's the best job, in a way.

Bob Odenkirk

My parents probably were delighted when I chose acting, because if there is one job in the world that is less financially reliable than acting, it is art.

Josh O'Connor

I love acting. I think that's the best job in the world, but I don't really enjoy the career of it so much. You don't have as much control over your life or the material as you do, well, certainly when you're a director or a producer, so while I love acting, I prefer to make my living as a filmmaker, but my rule on acting is if somebody asks me to do a part, I'll do it.

David Hayter

My whole thing is I want to have a backup plan because maybe I won't get another acting job after 'Fame', maybe I'll want to give up on acting in five years or whatever and I want to have something else that I enjoy just as much as I enjoy acting.

Kay Panabaker

Acting for me, is a passion, but it's also a job, and I've always approached it as such. I have a certain manual-laborist view of acting. There's no shame in taking a film because you need some money.

James Spader

Broadly speaking, there are two kinds of acting: character acting and lead acting. And in my life, to begin with, in the 1980s, it was all character acting. And then when, by fluke, through 'Four Weddings', I got into doing lead parts, it's a completely different thing.
