Lessons in persistence from The Doctor

August 10, 2013

Acting is a lifestyle similar to writing in many ways, not least in fickleness.

The New Doctor, Peter Capaldi, echoes something I have come to learn about writing.

“What I’ve learnt being an actor is that you’ve got to be lucky.”

But his tale also bears out the more often quoted adage – that persistence & patience are required to “make it”.

Doctor Who Peter Capaldi had no work or money eight years ago – now he has his dream job.

I am both delighted and inspired.
