Since he didn't actually answer your question
he mostly survives by heading down to Covent Garden and street performing. You know those guys that pretend they're statues, or robots? Monty does classical art. His most famous being The Laughing Cavalier.

It's time I had a go at dishing out what people give. I don't know why I picked Monty, I just did.

there are fewer roles out there since the advent of CGI
no more R2D2, no more oompah loompah, no more willow :(

that's probably why they started doing all those 'little people are funny' documentaries

I'm holding out for Louis Theroux. I won't settle for any other documentary.
