The mark of a great actor is that he or she is never satisfied with their performance. If they had delivered a good performance, they strive to deliver the excellent performance, if they had delivered an excellent performance, they strive to deliver a performance of a lifetime. They are just never satisfied and always hungry for more. When you look at the career graph of actors like Tatum O’Neal, you can see them and their performance improving with every movie that they did.
Tatum received an academy award for her very first movie. She could very well have considered herself to be the best actress at that time and stopped making any efforts to improve herself. Had she done that, she would have killed the artist within her, and her career would have ended a long time back. But instead of becoming complacent, she continued to strive to be a better actor, and as a result, she continues to be a big part of the movie and television industry, and is doing some very good, interesting and meaningful roles.
There are three things that set apart regular actors and great actors like Tatum O’Neal:
Perseverance
Whether you are starting your career in the industry, looking for your first break, have won awards for your performances, or established yourself as an actor, you need to continue to have perseverance and the hunger to achieve more. In the movie business, you are remembered only for your last performance. Therefore, at any point in your career, if you deliver a bad movie or performance, no matter how good you were in your earlier movies, you would be immediately written off as a bad actor. At such time, it is only through your perseverance, that you can change your fortunes, get another opportunity to prove your talent to the world and cement your place in the industry.
Hard Work
The most successful actors are also the hardest working actors. The top actors have to complete multiple projects on time and therefore, there are times when they are working 20 hours a day, for months at a stretch. Even when they are not working, these actors prefer to join various classes, to improve their physical appearance, their acting talents, dancing skills, and other attributes that can help them in becoming better actors. It is only through this hard work and focus that these people are able to maintain their top position in the industry. The moment these people take things easy, someone else immediately overtakes them and grabs their number one position. It is for this precisely for this reason, that even at the age of 53, Tatum ONeal still continues to work extremely hard on her craft and does not take her position in the industry for granted for even a single moment.
Talent
Of course, if you do not have the talent required to be a great actor, then no matter what you do, you will never be able to taste success in this industry. Fortunately, talent can be cultivated, and if you work hard, you can develop your acting skills and become a good actor.
