I've had a real career — actual credits, actual work — but the roles are thinning out as I get older. The phone rings less, and the parts that do come are smaller and smaller. What scares me most isn't the slow calendar; it's not knowing who I even am when nobody's casting me anymore.
More people experience this than they realize.
The work is drying up with age and you don't know who you are without it.
