Is Vinnie too hard on Himself ?

Bop

At 18 years old, Vincent Kartheiser speaks about his acting career more
like a wise old man than the teenager that he is. He had three notable
feature-film credits under his belt - 1997's Masterminds, 1996's Alaska
and 1995's The Indian in the Cupboard - and two more on the way - The
Hairy Bird and Another Day in Paradise - but according to Vinnie, his
time in the spotlight could all end at the drop of a hat.
"I'm not optimistic about my time in this business," he tells BOP. "I
would not be surprised if in five years I'm not here anymore. And that's
just the way it goes. If it happens, it happens."
While he maintains a way-strong sense of reality about the
competitively harsh world of show biz, Vinnie is too demanding on
himself. After all, the fact that he's beat out hundreds of other young
actors for starring roles in feature films isn't just luck- the guy has
an amazing acting ability.
However, if Vinnie's prediction about his career comes true, he won't
be crushed. "There is other stuff out there," he explains. "I used to
think when I was young that there wasn't. I thought that acting was the
only way. But you know what ? It's just another part of life." Hold on,
Vinnie, with your talent, you might be in for a big surprise!
