The American actress Courtney Henggeler 46, announced that it is leaving the performance after two decades in the profession. She published a text by reflecting on the career and the audiovisual market, highlighting the difficulty of succeeding in the field.

“After more than 20 years fighting in the field, I hung my gloves . I called my agents and said it was over. I don’t want to be a machine gear anymore . When they asked me I wanted to do it, I just said, ‘I want to be the machine,’ ”he said.

All I met in my professional life was to act. But not even the art or craft of acting. All I really knew was the agitation. Agitation, routine, occasionally sprinkled with occasional work of action . Maybe one or two lines for ‘Dr. House ‘:’ Sorry ‘(that’s it. That was my speech). Or a recurring guest star who never seemed to be repeated“He continued.

Courtney wrote about the instability of the profession and about her last TV work like Amanda Larusso in “Cobra Kai”.

We survived from crumbs . We filled our cup with the possibility; Our mugs with illusion. Our dishes were empty, but a golden egg chicken hovered over our heads. Today it can be the day. Today it may be the day I will reach the golden egg chicken. More than 20 years of this. I’m hungry, ”he said.

“And I am considered one of the lucky. I was in a series. A successful series. I made money. My face was in the billboards I longed for over 20 years. I was directed by George Clooney, for God’s sake. This is the Golden Egg Chicken.

The actress, however, revealed that she thought of leaving her career a few years ago.

For years I silenced my voice in my head, begging me to leave . The voice, the constant rustle. Not because of the performance itself. But because of the challenge I had to run to reach the performance . What before seemed necessary, something I participated in goodwill, even celebrated, became suffocating “He explained.

Besides “Cobra Kai”, Courtney Henggeler It has titles such as “The Big Bang Theory”, “Colorful Friendship” and “Jane The Virgin” in the curriculum.
