Categories:

Actor Erik Palladino talks us through his rollercoaster career after 30 years in Hollywood.He tells us how his pilots never get picked up, the time he was told he had a job by his agent on a Friday and on the Monday they admitted they’d called the wrong person and how, as an older actor, he worries more about his next paycheck than becoming a star.He tells us about how he deals with rejection, his calmer philosophy about missing out on parts as he gets older and the time he didn’t learn his lines for a very complex scene - and how he got through it.Erik also tells us why he sees himself as a success, how the big Morgan Freeman break-out moment could still come and how he got a part working with Guy Ritchie despite getting nervous and flubbing his network audition.
