In Hollywood if you`re good looking, tall, have okay teeth and nice skin, the odds of being successful are great. If you`re short and fat, it`s a different story. But as long as you look like a leading man type, half your job is done already.
Acting is a win-win situation. There is no risk involved. That`s why I get tired of hearing actors who try to make out that there`s a downside to it. Fame is an odd thing. It bugs you a little bit, but it`s really not bad.
