    tbf being an actor, especially in film, is fucking terrible at times.

    I shot a car commercial years ago. Getting up at 4am to get to set for 4.30 to stand in one spot say “¡Vamos!” in heavy makeup repeatedly for 15 hours 3 days in a row in the exposed elements becomes torturous.

      You know what’s really torturous? Getting up at 4 am to drive 1.5 hours to the city to pour concrete for a multi billion dollar company 10 hours, 5 days a week so you can support your family on $24 an hour.

        all jobs have ups and downs. Considering “reste” periods (unemployment), $24/hr is probably more than I made from that commercial.
