Couldn't get work but kept going: Milo Anthony Ventimiglia opens up on 'tough time' in Hollywood
Hollywood actor Milo Anthony Ventimiglia is looking forward to his upcoming show 'The Company You Keep' with loads of anticipation and excitement. In an recent interview, the actor spoke about his character in the show and how difficult it was for him to get work in Hollywood.
The actor revealed that after the release of 'Heroes', he struggled to find work. “I had a really hard time working, I could not get a job. It was one of the one or two times in my career where I thought about, what if I did something else? What if I got out of Hollywood? What if I left, and I moved out of the country? What if I did something like completely different than the path that I had been on? Because I couldn’t get work.”
"You're auditioning, you're meeting people, you’re doing what you can, and you’re still not getting the work. So therefore it’s kind of like, well, if they’re not buying what I’m selling, what am I doing here still selling?”
