Be The Character Actor or The Star?

Pat and James consider the merits of being a character actor rather than the star.

In this segment, Pat and James bat back and forth whether it would be more fulfilling to have a thriving career as a character actor or as a well known actor who principally plays leading roles. Perhaps it’s not as easy a choice as one might think.

Questions for You:

  1. Would you rather be a leading actor or a character actor?

  2. How do you define what it means to have a fulfilling career?

  3. Do you want to be recognized on the street or overhear compliments from fans?
