Similar to being picky about what you eat to ensure a healthy life, being picky about roles you take in Hollywood should also ensure a lasting career. That has always been Sam Elliott’s game plan to stay popular and relevant as the years go by. He is known for advising other actors and actresses against taking just any role offered to them; that they risk getting burnt out and losing their fans.

When speaking about his career, Sam has said that he always knew that he wanted to act. “I wanted to be an actor since I was nine years old, and I figured that was only one way ever to have any longevity, and that’s to be careful about what kind of work you do,” he said.
