NCIS Star Jennifer Esposito's Brutally Bleak Thoughts On Acting

According to a 2019 interview that Jennifer Esposito had with PowerwomenTV, she feels that acting is a less creative endeavor than she thought and a very self-obsessive job. Esposito said, "I often question, 'what the hell am I doing?'" She would further explain that her experience with acting and the entertainment industry is heavily appearance-focused and self-centered. According to her, there's a heightened emphasis on makeup, hair, and clothing, and Esposito feels that she had no other option to get in line with that environment to be successful. "And I was pushed into, you know ... not pushed, but you have to go down that road. That's just what the business has become."

Esposito then confessed that she often feels unfulfilled in many roles that she takes on, with only a few allowing her to have a creative experience. Esposito still acts in roles today — likely ones that leave her fulfilled. She recently appeared on Amazon's "The Boys" as Susan Raynor and has reportedly finished filming her project, "Fresh Kills" (via Deadline).
