As The Industry Coach, I am constantly dealing with clients whose only goal is to become a huge movie star.
Personally, I have no problem with anyone who desires stardom on the big screen. That said, however, I do have a problem with any actor who snubs the small screen (i.e. Television) and only wants to go out on movie auditions.
The truth of the matter is that there are far more acting jobs available in television than there are in movies. Additionally, and maybe even more importantly, many of today's movie stars started on the small screen, before becoming the "stars" they are now, including: George Clooney, Michelle Williams, Paul Walker, Jason Biggs, Demi Moore, and Health Ledger, just to name a few.
Josh Duhamel is the latest actor to join the movie star ranks for one simple reason: Steven Spielberg saw him on an episode of Las Vegas (NBC) and pushed for him to join the cast of Transformers. It was that simple. Can you imagine?!
There's an old saying in Hollywood that goes like this: "There are no such thing as small parts, only small actors."
As an actor, it's important for you to give it everything you've got, no matter what the circumstances, because you just never know when Steven Spielberg might come knocking on your door, offering YOU the part of a lifetime!
Wishing You Success,
Sharon
