Confessions of a utility actor

I'm not a star. I'm not even a "name." I'm just a workaday actor trying to make a living. And after 20 years of waiting for that big break, I'm ready to move on.

    Great article

    I really enjoy articles that give me an unvarnished look into other peoples' lives. Too often they're overlaid with an unpleasant sheen of bitterness, but Mr. Birkenhead strikes just the right note of rueful good humor. Thanks for being candid and funny, Mr. Birkenhead, and I hope you get The Call, whether for writing or acting.
