Acting? Now that is a miserable profession. An awful life. Even the best of them, they sit around most of the year, not working, not doing anything.
Marlon Brando once told me acting is not a job for a grown man. Even the successful ones. Like
Humphrey Bogart. Who was a drinker. Very bright. A wonderful chess player. But most of the year he had nothing to do, so he drank. He was a helluva decent man.
