It has to be difficult for actors that are just getting in the business who get typecasted after blowing up in a major franchise. Daisy Ridley became famous for her part as Rey in the recent Star Wars films. While she’s been beloved for this character, actress Ridley describes how difficult it’s been finding work since her Star Wars’ story ended:
“It was so sad to finish [Star Wars]. When the film was released, I was like, ‘Oh my God.’ It was such a huge chapter. And, weirdly, the past few months of not having much… Obviously now it’s really nice to be working, but not having much [at the time] I feel like I processed the last five years. To be forced to slow down, it was good mentally for me because [Star Wars was] a big thing in my life.”
She added:
“Weirdly, at the beginning of the year nothing was coming through. I was like, ‘Aww! No one wants to employ me.’ …There were actually loads of things that I auditioned for at the beginning of the year and didn’t get any of them. I had that moment of ‘Oh my god!’ and then just thought ‘everything in its right time.'”
