“I’ve been out in Vancouver, Canada [where OUAT films] for the last eight years. My children love it out there, they go to school there, they’ve got friends there. I really have to think about them most, more than I have to think about me.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if I ended up still back there, but you never know.”
Good old Bobby! He’s such a family man. From the way it sounds, he doesn’t find working on ONCE personally fulfilling anymore, but he’s thinking of his family and the show pays him well enough to support them comfortably. Unless another steady-paying acting job comes along it sounds like he might be tempted to stay another year for the sake of his family. In other words, it’s really more about the money than the job anymore, which is kind of sad because Bobby is such a talent and could be doing so many other projects like independent films. The trouble is those don’t pay as well and aren’t as steady.
Carlyle’s comments follow Morrison revealing she doesn’t “have it in me to do it forever” when asked about the show’s future. She said: “My contract ends in April on Once Upon a Time. I don’t know what that means.”
I did finally listen to the podcast interview with Jennifer Morrisonon on The Drop-In. While it sounded like she was very thankful to have all of the opportunities that have come her way thanks to her fame from House and now OUAT, she also said she “was born to direct” and sounded like she might want a career shift. She would love to direct more movies, her true passion. She seems to have become a bit tired by the demands of a network TV filming schedule. I could potentially see her acting on a cable TV show, which would have a better filming schedule, and also directing more independent films in the future.
