I am a retired actor, although to be honest I only retired because I wasn't getting any work due to losing my agent when I became a full time carer to my mother who had dementia. and the option of becoming an unemployed actor/waiter at my age was ludicrous, especially as my waiting skills are non-existent.
Having said I’m retired, I don’t think there really is such a thing as a retired actor for I am still available for work, I just don’t have an agent or any connections with regards to obtaining any worthwhile work.
I have over the years done student films when there is nothing else available, always low paid (if at all) the only incentive was always the promised copy of the finished film for your show reel which nine times out of ten always failed to materialise.
I spent many years looking after my aged mother and shortly after her death I was lucky enough to run into an ex-girlfriend of many years ago and our romance blossomed once again, resulting in us getting married in 2013.
My move to the countryside inspired me to write The Diary of a Country Bumpkin which tells of my continuing dilemmas in dealing with the rigors of the countryside from the unexpectedly large number of pollens, fungal moulds and hay products waiting to attack the unsuspecting townie.
I enjoy writing, see my play Dulce Et Decorum Est Pro Patria Mori on The Wireless Theatre Company, The Plays Wot I Wrote and The Battle of Barking Creek both available on Amazon.co.uk and am very fond of classic cars so my ideal occupation would be acting in a film I had written set in the 1930s/40s, we live in hopes.
I am delighted to say that since venturing to the countryside where space is not quite the premium it is in town, I have due to the availability of two double garages acquired more classic cars to form a small collection the pride of which are a 1947 Bentley Mk VI and a 2000 Bentley Arnage.
My various blogs and websites are continually evolving and I’m sure that by following the appropriate links you will find something which will edify or amuse.
I have written a number of different books all available on Amazon, so don't be shy should you feel the urge to purchase. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mr-Joe-Wells/e/B06XKWFQHT/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1
Good one, Joe. I think Trump sees himself as an emperor, so just like the one with the new clothes, he doesn’t realise what they’ve done to him, and he happily pays out for the hairstyle that he believes everyone admires!
Pity about the taxes though.
The hair thing is funny but what’s sickening is that so many of his supporters still believe he’s a “great businessman”. And meanwhile, the guy not only loses money but cheats the very government he’s sworn to uphold. Gaaah.
Business men do know how to hang onto their money…while the rest of us are forced to give more and more.
GE and many giant corporations pay no income taxes – and haven’t for years
I do wish the IRS and other agencies would tell all their own employees who owe money to the IRS that they must pay up/get on a payment plan/get amounts deducted from their (taxpayer funded) salaries – or be fired! Drives me crazy.
It’s all stacked against the rest of us – no matter who is running DC

Oh yes, I hardly noticed that bit of the story, I was mesmerised by the hair!

I think incompetent nincompoop sums it up.
