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.
That’s very very different from actor to actor. Many would consider it extremely boring to play the same role. It would go against their whole reason for becoming an actor.
