[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realize the OP was somewhat tongue-and-cheek in her post, but this is actually a fascinating topic IMO.

Most 'good' actors that I have heard speak will tell you they are either the child of divorce, or many have some other incident in their youth in which acting created an escape for them.
I remember Pierce Brosnan talking about this in an interview once, and he actually seems fairly normal (as actors go).

I think many actors feel that on stage, they can leave internal troubles. 
Also, many are addictive personalities (drugs, smoking, alcohol abuse). This can't be a coincidence. This is all part of the escape from reality.

My drama-free husband sort of describes it like this: why would any normal person want to stand up in front of an audience, bear their soul and maybe their body, pretending to be another person? Makes no sense to him... but to me, if you are wrestling with demons, why not use some of that craziness to have some fun playing a character?

But, like other artists, there are some really super talented ones... who, I suspect do have more serious mental stuff going on. 
Philip Seymor Hoffman comes to mind.[/quote]

I'm an actor, and was going to reject what you said but: my parents were divorced, I experienced trauma and abuae at a young age and, yup, definitely have had trouble with addiction so...[/quote]
