I can't work on someone else's time, making my own schedule helps with the pain. I would have been more finically / commercially successful faster - had it not been for the back... but my work is much more interesting now so there is a trade
There is no way to crew with a lumbar injury. It would cripple you. 18 hour days is the norm just for the actors. Crew stays even longer!

I really hope you can get in to that study!

Dang! Five years of that is grueling enough, but with a bad back...

Oh, and I was looking for the like button too!
