[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the movies/tv thing, a lot of married actors with kids prefer TV because the work is regular and you are less likely to have to leave your family for shoots.  For movie shoots, you basically always have to leave your family as the shoot will be someplace odd like Bulgaria and you’ll work round the clock until you drop.  It’s one of the reasons actors have such a high divorce rate and often kids who are troubled.  I do wonder if this is changing though as there is so much pressure to fill in lower cost locations like Atlanta or Canada even for TV shows, and I don’t know the logistics of moving families to those locations for the duration of a season shoot.  It was easier when things were largely filmed on a sound stage in NY or California.

Ellen pompeo has talked about this interviews—how she went into acting thinking she wanted to be a movie star and then realized that a steady TV series allowed her to make a ton of money and also have the family she wanted.[/quote]

Agree with this point, and I knew Chris O’Donnell and his wife when we were younger and still have mutual friends and he prioritized being a husband and father to which I say bravo. [/quote]
