Audience Member I love listening to these men talk about life as a “character actor” it was so interesting to me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/28/18 Full Review Audience Member As a background artist and indie film hobbyist I really enjoyed seeing these individuals talk about there lives. Really enjoyable, highly recommend to actors for a dose of reality and for leveling expectations. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member really enjoyed this documentary. anyone wanting to become an actor professionally should watch it and listen to seasoned actors trials and victories and understand it's not an easy ride. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member movie for movie nerds. lots of really interesting perspectives. looks like the pay scale in movies drops off after the leads faster then i thought. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Interesting documentary about contemporary character actors. The film is essentially interviews with a number of actors (no actresses for some reason) who share various aspects regarding the life of a character actor. Everyone knows them and thinks they're rich and famous, but they're only partially right about famous (most people seem to recognize them but don't know from where) and they're definitely not right about the rich part. I recognized all the people that were interviewed (Xander Berkeley, Bruce Davison, Craig Fairbrass, Zach Grenier, Paul Guilfoyle, Gregory Itzin, Zeljko Ivanek, Robert Joy, Stanley Kamel, J.C. MacKenzie, Matt Malloy, Timothy Omundson, Mark Rolston, William Morgan Sheppard, Wade Williams, Rick Worthy), but only knew two of them by name (Berkeley and Davidson). Nothing earth shattering, but quite interesting to listen to these familiar faces and voices talk about their part in the Hollywood machine. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member just discovered this on Netflix - EXCELLENT! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
