Quote examples
Seth Gabel
American Actor
I was always prepared for my 'Fringe' journey to end immediately. I had only signed up for a guest role but they kept bringing me back in the third season as a recurring character. So pretty much every time I went to film a 'Fringe' episode I kind of said goodbye to the show, but then they kept bringing me back.
Quote examples
Kate Burton
Welsh Actress

It's a recurring thing: It's that I fall really deeply for bad relationships. It's just always been this way and not changing.
Quote examples
Adam Beach
Canadian Actor
It's much easier to come back as a recurring character. Because you already know his traits and who he is and what he's about.
Quote examples
Kevin McCloud
British Designer
I have a recurring nightmare that I wake up in a gutter with nothing. I've had it all my life. That's why I work, I think.
