Actress Catherine Kamau says people should stop looking at acting as a part-time job.
The popular actress was responding to people who said creatives who have been in the game for many years should step aside and pave way for new faces.
Kate said just like any other profession, acting is a career that should be taken seriously.
"Please help me understand the chat of 'recycling actors'," she said.
"If you are a lawyer and close a case, are you meant to change careers after that?
"Acting is a career. Furthermore, what are actors meant to do besides go to other productions? Genuine ask."
Veteran actor Ainea Ojiambo added that most of the new faces and upcoming actors don't like working for things and have a strange sense of entitlement.
"Then most of the so-called new-face actors don't want to attend auditions, or if they are rejected once, they start talking of nepotism," he said.
"Auditioning is the same as job applications, you keep trying. Out of 14 auditions I attended this year, I only got four jobs, but I still applied for two more."
Kate termed that as disrespect, saying nobody would tell a doctor to take a break or give fresh doctors a chance.
Kate is set for a big acting breakthrough, according to a post she recently shared.
"Ready for one of the biggest moments in my career. Kenya to the world."
