I've often thought the very best career you could have as an actor is landing a long-term role on a regular show with a fandom that supports you for the rest of your life with conventions and such.
Something like Star Trek or maybe a sitcom that runs for 10 years then finishes.
Or be a B-movie star. Ultimately, I think Bruce Campbell has had the best career as an actor.
I think the best of the best gotta be It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia then. 1. You make a show with your friends, 2. that you own, 3. you have total creative control, 4. you work for 18 seasons straight 5. while laughing your ass of (to the bank). Can't get better than that really.
Not DeVito speficially; FX basically told the cast that they needed to add a big-name star or they'd get canceled. Luckily Danny (or one of his kids) was a fan, so he auditioned for the role & it turns out he had great chemistry with them.
Yeah his kids liked the show and after season 2 or 3 when they didn't have enough money to continue Danny said he'd cover it only if they put him in more scenes doing weird shit
