"I hope to continue working in film, television and theatre"
About this Quote
There is something quietly radical about how modest this ambition is: not to conquer Hollywood, not to “take on challenging roles,” just to keep working. Jeremy Bulloch’s line reads like a shrug, but it’s the kind that belongs to a professional who understands the real economy of acting - momentum, relationships, and availability. The verb “continue” does most of the heavy lifting. It signals longevity as the win, a career measured in booked days and returning calls rather than trophies.
The triad - film, television and theatre - is a compact map of an actor’s survival strategy. Bulloch isn’t pledging allegiance to a single medium or chasing prestige; he’s positioning himself as adaptable, employable, and game. That matters in an industry that treats performers as replaceable parts, especially character actors and genre regulars whose cultural impact can be huge while their on-screen presence stays fleeting.
Context sharpens the subtext: Bulloch is best known for Boba Fett, a role defined as much by silence and armor as by traditional performance. When your most famous work is iconic but physically and vocally constrained, “continue working” also means continuing to be seen as more than a costume, more than a trivia answer. It’s a gentle insistence on craft and range.
The hope is plain, but the stakes are not. It’s the voice of a working actor refusing the narrative of peak-and-decline, asking instead for the simplest privilege in show business: the next job.
