Fire in the Theatre! De-conflating the Conflagration: The Working Actor

LA Bitter Lemons: Actors are insecure. I am one, so I know. I shouldn’t have told you that I’m insecure, ‘cuz now you’re judging me, aren’t you? See. We actors, as a whole, are insecure (secure people become lawyers) and thus we need to feel wanted. We just do. Don’t judge. AEA would rather paint me as a producer than an actor. It’s true that I’m not an AEA member (though I’m SAG and AFTRA) and I plead guilty to running a 99-seat theatre.
