Actor Quote by Chris Diamantopoulos

“I'm what you call a good, old-fashioned working actor who has had delusions of grandeur for my entire career and has known what I want to do, but there's a lot going on out there. There are a lot fewer films being made, and there's a lot of competition.” quote by Chris Diamantopoulos
