It's not that he's not a fan of child actors.... He's talking about actors who discover their passion at an age like mine, after I finished college...

[@GunnarssonAlexander]

One of the more wiser interviews I've ever stumbled upon regarding acting. Very inspirational!

[@DanielValdes]

I would just love to sit down and chat with a guy like Mr. Lipton, so in the know and interested in art and the work that goes into it.

Education is the key to success as a actor.

Well I am not a good student and im 15 years old and I leave in greece but I have a talent. Acting , too many people told me that and I want to continue. What should I do now? My family hasnt got money to send me in college.

If this was filmed in 2013, he was 86 during this interview! Hardly looks like it.

[@StephenGeorge]

There are definitely exceptions, but great advice nonetheless.

He’s right . Study something else, experience life

[@BenjaminWirtz]

So based on this I take it he's not a fan of child actors.
