Harvey Keitel
Harvey went through a difficult time when he couldn’t find work and thought about looking for a different job: “For a long time I was bad news in Hollywood. In fact, I found it hard to get any work at all in the States, I was almost resigned to the idea of giving up acting and finding a nine to five job to support myself.”
James Van Der Beek
James took a long break from acting and almost didn’t return: “I was so burned out after six years of doing it that I thought I’d never do it again. In all my wisdom at age 26! And so I kind of dropped out for a bit. I disappeared for a little while and recharged and grew up a little bit. And then, a couple (of) years ago, I started saying yes to these things that I was being offered. Television guest spots and guest arcs, and I just started having a lot of fun. I started doing a lot of different television shows and worked with a lot of cool people. And it kind of sparked a passion for it again.”
