Am I making a reference to the rampant drug abuse or the violence which comes with the territory? Either way I'm seteotyping, so I'll let you make your own opinions on that one.
You know, many people say many things about acting; it must be difficult, it sounds exciting, never a dull moment. But there is one dull moment.. one moment of such unfathomable tedium that every actor puts it off, usually to their detriment. That moment is the simple act of line learning without a scene partner. Gods it is so dull.
You sit, for example, on a train, crammed into your seat by a snoring businessman beside you, unable to speak aloud because you journey partner would probably take offense, reciting lines in your head. Lines which mean nothing without a voice or an audience or the second half of your double-act! Nothing but you and your head, which is why I cannot wait until tomorrow, when I'll meet other people with the same script, and hopefully none of them will be falling asleep during scenes.
