When you are an actor it is your job to act. No matter where, with whom, about what, it’s just your job. Unless, of course, it’s something that you aren’t interested in being apart of as a project, then you can get out of that whichever way you please. But when you are doing a job that you booked, and that you are willing, able, and want to do, then it’s your job to do it no matter what.

There are times where you will have to work with people that you do not like. There are things that you may have to do in jobs that you do not necessarily agree with on a personal level. This ranges from doing a commercial as a republican actor to promote democratic opinions, or like doing a TV show about people living off of their parents dime when you disagree with that.

When you take a job as an actor, you are signing up to promote that job that you do so it is best that, even if it is created, you make yourself excited about doing that job so that you can promote it yourself and be excited to do so. When you aren’t excited about your work, you do not validate the fact that you have done hard work to get to where you are.

As an actor, when you assume the point of view that your work is not dissimilar to that of a regular office job, where you just have to show up and be professional about getting your work done as well as you can, you are more likely to have an easier time of it.

Not everyone will agree on your acting capabilities, your personality, or even your looks, but something that everyone can agree on, is if you are professional or not in your work ethic. Prove to them that you are, and your chances of working in the industry expand exponentially.
