there was an interview in like august where he said he did wish he was acting constantly (i believe the guy because he does seem to really love the job) but there's no telling if he still thinks that in big 2025 lol
In reality he’s not actually that great an actor and lacks the physique/look for many film types. He’ll maybe get offered some Rom Coms and a young adult comedy but options I think will be limited. He probably partially knows this hence the others channels ie dj / modelling

It's frustrating because the industry is filled with nepo babies

Yes, unfortunately, you have to be related to someone or have famous friends.

I doubt height has anything to do with it, Kit is 5'8, Tom Cruise is 5'7, Tom Holland is 5'6. You can be a star and be short.
maybe we'll see him in the next season of doctor who.
maybe he'll land on one of those british soaps. not every actor is gonna be hollywood a-list famous. plenty of european actors are only known for the work they do in their country in national tv shows and soaps.
the issue isn't really just nepo babies. anyone with connections has an advantage. you don't need to be related to someone, you just need to know someone. mingling with important people at industry events makes it easier to get in.
in portuguese we have a saying 7 dogs to 1 bone, meaning it's a whole lot of people going after the same one thing. and it applies to hollywood. it's a lot of actors, be it nepos, be it well connected, be it beginners, all trying out for the same roles. and you can't have 100 people playing the same character. one is getting it and the other 99 are getting passed on.
as long as he's continuously auditioning and doesn't get a bit of a superiority for having been on hotd and refusing to go for roles he deems beneath him, he'll land something

Besides, he looks ridicilously attractive, it's not a physical thing, he just enjoys being a musician more than acting.
Where there's will, there's always a way, and with him having history into big franchises such as Game of Thrones should be putting him in the eye of the industry by now, if not by modelling agency which he also has a great potential in tbh

It definitely helped Kit get more roles, Peter Dinklage as well. The problem is the industry is dominated by nepotism. Almost every young actor I see had a dad or mom pretty high up. Also the UK film and tv sector isn't booming, He may move to LA at some point like others.

He is not tall enough for modeling, I guess. Not for a sustainable income.
Well he’s more than welcome to live in my home! I’ll take that English muffin any day.
Maybe partly that's why he's doing the whole DJ thing, to pursue a life based in LA, he likes it there, he's said so and even vacay'd earlier in 2024 there. (Let's hope so, he's got incredible potential to let it go to waste living a life of the party)
Guess that settles it. it’s time to kick my roommate out and put the guest sheets on…

I always just thought of the DJ stuff as just a hobby, It's definitely not gonna pay the bills long-term.
djs can make a fuckton of money, and half of them don't even do shit, other than hit play. they'll either have a usb with a setlist of music they downloaded, or they just have a spotify playlist, and they still get paid a lot to dj at events. like, a dj for a wedding can easily make 1k from just that one wedding
That if you're good in the scene and people actually make lines for lines to see your sets longterm. And let's be real, a big, if not 98% of the people who casually drop into his sets, are mostly his HoTD fans, not actual fans of his music.
Not sure if that can be enough for living of it as it could be chasing after a producer/actor/screenwritter life.
