Yes, I have you.

Are you going to encourage him to do acting or should he quit?

I think you are being an entirely wet blanket.

However, I do think that yes, you should run.

I think if there's anything else that you find interesting in your life, you would rather spend five to 10 years mastering that craft and having success versus risking everything, spending a ton of money, working in bars, trying to like make a living while you're trying to be an actor in the process.

Like when I was- Hold on, hold on.

Well, I was gonna get to that.

Per usual, you are correct, but there's a lot of actors that I know that have perfectly terrific lives and families and love their craft and are terrific at what they're doing.

Your example, though, of wanting to fall in love with the person, because you have to almost in these intimate scenes,

You don't actually have to do that.

You just have to have a really strong feeling towards that person.

So I actually know an actor, I'm not going to name, but he did a terrific romantic performance, but his goal was to actually hate this person.

Interesting.

And so he was passionately hating that person, not falling in love.

In those scenes, it was intense and awesome.

So that was almost something he did to guard himself in those scenes, but still give a great performance.
