I find all this “retrain” talk incredibly insulting. Art is a career.

I remember having these discussions with people who voted for Brexit myself. I remember being told I was short sighted for believing there would be any barriers in trade or that businesses would find it difficult to import goods.
The UK has NEVER voted to leave the Single Market.
Every Brexit campaigner promised we would keep all the trade benefits of the Single Market.
The majority in 2017 & 2019 voted for Single Market parties.
The Tories are just CHOOSING to make people poorer during a recession!

It’s funny how ALL of our attention has been shifted to the Royal Family by a media machine that has absolved itself of any wrong doing. H&M didn’t leave Britain cos of their family, they left because of the press, because Harry was afraid that ‘history would repeat itself’. 😡
Hearing Prince William say "We are very much not a racist family"😟
That brotherly relationship is in for a very tough time.
I hate that we don't know.
Will could be the one who said the skin colour thing OR he could have condemned it privately years ago.

Yes I was. How you found those shots I’ll never know. Sam called me personally to apologise for having to cut me out of the final edit. He said the film was running at just over 3 hours! A lot had to be cut, not just my stuff.
Hi
@AdrianLester
I believe you played Dr Wallace in Spider-Man 3, however you were cut from the final edit.
I was wondering if you could shed any light on who your character was and what it was like being part of such a huge blockbuster and working with Sam Raimi?

In order to keep the money coming in and chase this career, I’ve worked as a cleaner in a care home, a bar tender and a waiter.
During school summer holidays, I worked as a catering assistant, in Littlewoods & BHS on the shop floor & as a receptionist. While a writer, I worked as a computer programmer to pay my bills. There is zero shame in working an honest job to pay bills. Zero.
