Keep it going...:)

papa that's royal! So am I going to be the only one to get gushy?
when...you leave the stage door and crowd follows you for an autograph.
when... people stare at you at a restaurant and your zipper is up and there's no food on your face.
when...your Equity check is larger than your dues.
when...your agent calls in your behalf and you can stop disguising your own voice.
when.. people stand to applaud and not to exit
when... you are hired without an official audition (now that's a ways off for many)
and most importantly...
you know you're an actor when... you can bring people to tears or laughter and not confuse the two.

Posted: 2/26/06 at 6:38pmYou feel the need to validate yourself as an actor but making threads titled..."you know your actor when..."
