John Corbett Reflects on Unfulfilling Acting Career

John Corbett, known for his roles in 'Sex and the City' and 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding,' has expressed deep regret over his career choice in acting, describing it as unfulfilling and creatively stifling. In a candid discussion on the 'Fly on the Wall' podcast with comedians Dana Carvey and David Spade, Corbett revealed that he dislikes the lack of creative control and feels like a 'puppet.' Despite the financial success and recognition, he misses the opportunity to contribute creatively, unlike actors like Emma Stone who have more involvement behind the scenes. Corbett's dissatisfaction stems from a long-standing distaste for being directed by authority figures and the monotonous nature of waiting on set. He also shared that, if given a chance, he might have preferred a career in screenwriting or producing.
