'It was very difficult for people to take me seriously,' says one star of the transition to adult auditions. 'It was very frustrating. I felt like a joke, you know?' (via toofab)
As the star of"Ned's Declassified Guide to School Survival," Devon Werkheiser thought getting work after the show ended would be easy. That wasn’t quite the case and as he tried to find more mature roles, he realized he was going to have to improve his acting skills. He enrolled in acting classes and spent eight years giving his all to an acting career -- until he ran out of savings and had to get a 9 to 5 job.
"I wanted to find that next big thing after 'Ned's' that would take me to the next level. I pushed and pushed at it -- I'd say from ages 16 to around 24 -- But to be honest, I don't know that I ever got there," Devon."[Running out of savings] was a real wake-up call for me. My parents also got divorced around this time, so life really just smacked me around for a while.
Devon eventually decided to stop trying to avoid his past and instead returned to his roots by channeling Ned for a podcast about growing up.Christina Ricci found success at an early age but knows that the same level of fame is hard to achieve once you become an adult. Looking back, Christina says that many former child actors spend their whole life trying to “top” what they’d already experienced and it becomes nearly impossible.
"I think that kind of fame, if the first thing you experience is that level of fame, how do you ever match that rush ever again? So for me as a child, I just thought, 'You ended up at the Oscars. You were on TV all the time,'" she said on".""I didn't have a full life of experience to know that what was happening to me was like…I mean intellectually I understand that, but emotionally it's a different thing.
