jessekonstantinoff said:

"While I am happy for him and congratulate him for his success, he’s the 0.5% of actors that actually make it. So many talented actors don’t get the dreams they fight for every day but instead get nothing and worse go down bad paths and this is coming from producers I’ve spoken to. So while he’s right don’t give up on your dreams, he also doesn’t realise how lucky he is too. It’s almost like winning a lottery ticket."
