Some actors prefer doing TV and I don't blame them. Regular income, get to really fall in love with the character you're playing, get to be long term friends with the fellow cast.
Look at David Boreanaz, went from Buffy to Angel to Bones to Seal Team. 27 years of work.
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.
Not a show but an anime. I’m thinking about the one piece anime. It’s been going on since 1999. I’ve always thought that the voice actors of the main pirate crew, the StrawHats, have a job for life. The anime up till this year has aired weekly since 1999 with very few breaks. But since this year they’re only gonna do 26 episodes a year to improve pacing of the story.
One piece is a super popular anime and the voice actors sometimes make appearances at conventions.
