Anthony Hopkins made a movie villain for the ages when he starred as Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs. It's long been speculated that Hopkins didn't blink once while in character during the horror movie, and in a 1992 interview on the Dick Cavett show, he gave some insight into why he did this, and what influenced his decision to incorporate non-blinking into his characterisation. "It's much more fun playing villains; there's much more dimension to it," the drama movie actor explained. "I met a madman who was on the loose in London and that was pretty scary." He continued, "I had coffee with him one day, and I realised just how nuts he was. He never blinked. He kept asking me questions and before you could answer he'd ask you another one, and then another. In the end, it made you feel as if you were living in a different reality." In another conversation with Barbara Walters, Hopkins expanded mo...

Bella Thorne is refusing to sign autographs on images of herself she deems inappropriate, particularly those of her when she was a teenager, and I love that for her. She recently told The Hollywood Reporter about an exchange she had with an autograph seeker at the Sundance Film Festival: It was this guy and he was shoving photos in front of me and I looked away for a second and looked back and there was a photo of me from my  GQ  magazine cover. It's super sexy and my butt is out and I'm wearing lingerie and I'm topless. I said I wouldn't sign that and he took it away and then put it back in front of me again.

Film and television are notoriously demanding industries that take a heavy toll on any person's well-being, no matter how old they are. The same is true for child actors, who are entering the trade at a time when they are still developing, and some may choose to give up on the industry for one reason or another. From individuals who left acting for teaching to more notorious stories in the early days of Hollywood, here is a list of some child actors who gave up on acting. Note: Some of these stories involve subject matter which may be triggering for some, including substance and emotional abuse. 1.
