Emotional People Response
It’s difficult because nothing’s preordained by plan and you can’t control it. That’s one of those joys and thrills and nerve-racking realities of being an actor. A lot has to do with luck, no matter what your talent or contribution can be.

[Scott Derrickson] is terrific, really sharp on the details, and he’s not afraid to go to dark places.

Mum did a lot of commercial theatre and farces in the 1980s and ’90s to make sure the school bills were paid.
