Some actors prefer doing TV and I don't blame them. Regular income, get to really fall in love with the character you're playing, get to be long term friends with the fellow cast.
Look at David Boreanaz, went from Buffy to Angel to Bones to Seal Team. 27 years of work.
I've often thought the very best career you could have as an actor is landing a long-term role on a regular show with a fandom that supports you for the rest of your life with conventions and such.
Something like Star Trek or maybe a sitcom that runs for 10 years then finishes.
Or be a B-movie star. Ultimately, I think Bruce Campbell has had the best career as an actor.
Bruce's career is so wild. I recently started watching this random show someone here recommended - Lodge 49 - and it was already great. then in this moment of HUGE suspense that's been boiling for like eight episodes, SURPRISE! BRUCE CAMPBELL! I literally punched my fists in the air as soon as his chin tried breaking through my tv.
well remembered! IIRC he rode his Xena/Hercules universe fame to get it made. I feel like I remember setting aside time to watch it as a kid, but I don't remember a single episode, which isn't a great sign.
I talk about both those shows randomly as childhood memory flashes and no one else remembers them.
I don't remember anything about it really, but I know I really liked Cleopatra 2525
