That's nice and all, but I was hoping people's take away would have been that no job is shameful and every working person deserves respect rather than seeing Owens' job as what needed to be fixed.

Agreed. I'm working on my own acting chops and have a day job in healthcare. Which I'll likely keep as I act on the side. There's no shame here.

I'm not an actor, but I'd have to assume a bit of time living and working outside of that industry would actually help one's performance. An uninformed assumption.

What people don't get is that you need the steady paycheck because nothing is guaranteed. If I bag one movie and make $30k in 6 weeks, I still may never get another role. 90% of acting jobs pay $400 or less per day. Sounds like a lot until you need the next gig to pay rent.

On merit? All Day. As a Handout? Nope

I always thought he was a good actor!

Geoff made it very clear all he wants out of this is a chance to audition. Not just freebies out of pity.

There was nothing wrong with the job he has/had!!?

Not saying, he expressed interesting in acting again and what some meant to shame him opened a door for that desire! Awesome!
