I tour with a piano, actually. Luckily I am able to hire people that deal with it completely and magically a piano appears on stage and then magically disappears when I leave.
I think it's a bigger risk following a part that plays up your looks than it is to try and carve out a career as an actor.
I don't mind dying if I have to, but I'm damned if I want to pay for the guarantee. I'm sorry.
