Yeah this... this is pretty much a series of goals you shouldn't bother having.

[(Anonymous)]

I find it highly amusing how many Richard Armitage secrets that are popping up. Amusing and delightful.

[iceyred]

I gotta say I love this picture. That is a goooooooooooood picture. Such a sexy show. Shame about the writing.

Um, I gotta agree with Noodles on this one. It's good to have dreams, but maybe you should shoot for more realistic goals.

[(Anonymous)]

Uh... do you think you have any chance at all? Realistically? Like, is your agent steering you towards the same projects realistically?

Yes? Wow, good luck with your career.

No? I think it is time to set aside "stressed", take a moment to feel "disappointment", and then find a more realistic goal.

I can understand angsting about an opportunity you will never have, though it's not a productive use of your time. But stressing over it? Huh.

[(Anonymous)]

So stressing wasn't the best choice of words. Oops. But angst, stress, it all manifests pretty much the same way for me.

[(Anonymous)]

that doesn't seem very healthy

what a handsome fella, though

[(Anonymous)]

Welcome to the life of 99% of the population. Maybe it's time to rethink your goals.

[(Anonymous)]

Nah. I love acting far too much to ever give it up. So maybe the fact that I may not ever get to work with him as an actor bothers me. Maybe it bothers me a lot. Doesn't change the fact that I've had the chance to play amazing roles, and who knows what roles I'll have in the future, or who I'll get the chance to work with in the future.

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

Ignore some of the other people, OP. Don't let anyone tell you what your dreams should and shouldn't be -- they're your dreams. It sucks when they make you feel bad, of course, but in a way that's part of it. As long as he's alive and still in the business, there is a chance for you to work with him. Don't give up, but don't beat yourself up over it either!

=)

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you. Thank you so much. =) I'm working on the not beating myself up part (this is only a part of it, but I have a tendency of doing so a lot, and it's a hard habit to break). But I don't plan on just giving up on my dreams just yet.

Re: =)

If you really want to do this, maybe think about some concrete steps you could take to make it more likely to happen.

You can't control what other people do, so the goal still may elude you.

But opportunities for acting and for reaching the public with creative work are more and more accessible to everyone.

Maybe start your own show, then invite him on it? It's easy to do a webseries today, compared to what the old broadcasting model was like.

I imagine if you're doing a webseries for the first time, learning everything, it won't necessarily be good, but you can work on it, practice, until it is excellent and amazing, and then maybe he will want to be on it.

I'm just brainstorming here. If none of this suits you, that's fine. But maybe it will prompt you to think of a better idea for yourself.

[cadremage]

I think the reason that people are reacting the way that they are is because unrealistic dreams have the potential to do more harm than good.

I also think there's a distinction to be made between "dream" and "fantasy." It's realistic for an actor to dream of being in a major motion picture. The idea of said actor working with a personal idol, however, is unlikely, and therefore a fantasy. It's important for a person to make a distinction between the two, because otherwise, that person might wind up unduly disappointed in his or her own accomplishments.

[hiyami]

Yes, this.
I always want to roll my eyes at people who claim that one should stick to their dreams and that if you really want, you can accomplish anything.
Because the only thing I ever really really dreamt of was to be a super-powered goddess (Dark Phoenix-like, or more).

If I hadn't learned to differentiate that from "realistic goal" and had kept obsessing and feeling sick about it, I would have been unable to find happiness in this life.

So, to get back to this secret :
- feel bad about not being able to play with a sill active actor? Not that much of a problem if you turn this angst into motivation to get closer to an opportunity of this happening.

- feel bad about not having played in a TV show that's been finished years ago? Now that it a waste of your energy.

[diet_poison]

Maybe you should examine this, OP. Talk to someone if you think it would help. It's not realistic and it sounds unhealthy.

Best of luck in your acting career, though. :)
