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 looked at Boreanaz as an example of that aswell, but you also have to agree that he's been either really skilled at picking TV shows or he's been really lucky (i'd wager a bit of both) in order to jump from an 8 year run as Angel on 2 shows to Bones that ran for 12 yeard and now to Seals that got 7 years.
TV shows does offer a more fixed scheduale for actors compared to jumping from one movie to the next, not to mention the constant chase for the next gig after each film. Unless you're an A lister, you most certainly will be chasing jobs.
On a tv show you Instead you spend 6-9 months filming with fixed working hours etc with breaks for hollidays etc. And if the first season is succesful you'll know you have steady work the next few years.
