Sam Waterson Does It All From Acting To Political Protests: What Is The Secret to His Success?
At the age of 81, Sam Waterson still remains one of the busiest actors of the modern day. He is currently starting in three different hit television shows; a task that, any actor will tell you, is incredibly time consuming.
He is on Law and Order, The Dropout, and Grace and Frankie - none of which are small-time productions. He has also taken on responsibilities in the realm of environmental conservation.
How is he able to keep up this same energized-bunny type vigor?
Easy. Sam Waterson loves to work.
In an interview with The Boston Globe, Waterson shared that his tenacity in the industry stems from the love he has for working and what he is able to do.
"I love to work, so when people ask me, my tendency is to say yes."
His does not only exist in the realm of entertainment, and he is thankful that his celebrity allows him to impact meaningful change on different issues. He was arrested alongside Jane Fonda, while protesting at the capital.
On that subject, Waterson shared:
"It's all very well and good to stand up and make a speech ... and getting arrested with Jane Fonda as Sam Waterston was a fine thing to do. But the key thing is teamwork. I mean, the publicity tends to make it seem like, 'Here comes a whole lot of famous people getting themselves arrested in Washington, D.C.,' but it was a gigantic team with Greenpeace and all kinds of other."
Sam Waterson is an inspiration. We can't wait to see all the wonderful projects he works on in the future!
