My downtime tends to resemble my uptime. Weekends are workdays, but toned down. Over the whole weekend, I may have five meetings, as opposed to six on a weekday. I used to play piano for 30 minutes at night, but I had to pull that out of my schedule. I don't have time for nonwork stuff.
Hobbies-wise, I love to carp fish. I like to be on the bank when I have some downtime.
The biggest challenge to being an actor is, when you're not working, just being unemployed: the downtime and not having anything to do.
I read a lot of autobiographical stories, and I write plays and prose. And I play piano and cello. A lot of my downtime is devoted to that.
I need some downtime before I go to sleep.
Being pampered is great, but sometimes I like to do those things myself because it's a little therapeutic and gives me some downtime for myself - and I need that.
I watch football sometimes at home, but in my downtime, I play pool with my friends. Darts - I enjoy darts now, and when there is a game not coming up, I enjoy playing golf as well. I'm not very good at golf, but I enjoy being able to relax.
I'm actually at home when I'm not on tour, and I have a lot of downtime.
Work is so much fun that it doesn't really seem like downtime when I'm not. But cooking, spending time with my family, friends and dog are what I'm usually doing when I'm not working on something.
As an actor, you have a ton of downtime, so it's always good to have a hobby, especially another creative outlet outside of acting.
