I think audiences, producers and directors included, develop crushes on actors (actresses in particular) and then lose interest and move on to the next one.

We can become very short-sighted in terms of objectives. The first thing to go during times of economic crisis and budget cuts is funding for things that are essential and not-quantifiable, like the arts. Save Big Bird

Theater is like going to the gym for actors.

I am a big fan of horror movies but I had never thought that I had wanted to act in one because I don't think that actors get to do much in them. They're usually just reacting.
