Actors say this shit all the time, particularly when they know they’re a critical character in the middle of an unfinished successful series. I wish I could just tell my boss I’m retiring then come back a week later just to do the work I was always planning on doing after my boss wrote a check for $10 million.
tbf being an actor, especially in film, is fucking terrible at times.
I shot a car commercial years ago. Getting up at 4am to get to set for 4.30 to stand in one spot say “¡Vamos!” in heavy makeup repeatedly for 15 hours 3 days in a row in the exposed elements becomes torturous.
You know what’s really torturous? Getting up at 4 am to drive 1.5 hours to the city to pour concrete for a multi billion dollar company 10 hours, 5 days a week so you can support your family on $24 an hour.

all jobs have ups and downs. Considering “reste” periods (unemployment), $24/hr is probably more than I made from that commercial.
You know, if it’s that terrible, and construction would be better, you could probably get a job in that.
