Emmerdale star Jason Merrells has admitted the acting industry certainly comes with it’s negatives as he’s currently struggling to secure a new job.
Jason, known for playing Declan Macey in the ITV soap, posted on his Twitter, explaining to his followers how difficult it is to wait after auditioning for a role.
‘Staring at phone that won’t ring. Waiting on a job. 25+ yrs doing this and it don’t get easier. I know there are worse jobs, I’ve done some, but being 50 odd and still playing “ooh pick me, pick me!” 4 or 5 times a year, (at least!) is sh*t. So undignified’.
Kaye Wragg, most known for playing Essie in Holby City, wrote: ‘As much as I love my time off with my kids and catching up, that doesn’t pay the bills – I hear you – as a female 48yo, 50 next year, not easier, but just quicker to recover for me. Always hoping it’s because something better is coming. Good luck, you’re ace, don’t think otherwise’.
