Comments on: Don’t Be an Actor http://eitantheactor.com/bio/2008/02/27/dont-be-an-actor/ The comings and goings of the world famous actor Eitan Loewenstein Sat, 22 Nov 2008 06:49:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Frank Rodriguez http://eitantheactor.com/bio/2008/02/27/dont-be-an-actor/#comment-860 Frank Rodriguez Sat, 03 May 2008 12:41:35 +0000 http://eitantheactor.com/bio/2008/02/27/dont-be-an-actor/#comment-860 Eitan, let me start by saying that I find your website very helpful and refreshing. So far everything that I have read has either made me laugh, or helped me in some way. Especially this post about actors and actors (can't do italics). Sadly it is painfully true. Sometimes that's one of the reasons why, in my case, choose not to do a lot of theatre, especially if I know who's in the cast. I consider myself a "blue collar" actor. I act because I love it and because it's a job just like anything else. Actually the people that should be "acting up" like the italic actors are people that are doing real jobs, like teachers, firemen, construction workers, you get the point. So for people to be behaving like histerical divas just because somebody thinks they can learn a few lines in sequence and deliver them with some sort of sense goes against everything that's holy about our beloved acting profession. That's it. I said it. Thanks again for your postings and help. I'll be sure to check them out in the future. Frank Eitan, let me start by saying that I find your website very helpful and refreshing.
