14 Facts Even More Charming Than James Bond Himself
By Ava Barnes
After leaving school when he was 16, Craig immediately auditioned to join the National Youth Theatre and moved to London when he was accepted into the troupe. However, with the work paying little, he worked as a waiter at several restaurants in the local area (via Cinenews). This is a career path that he may well have taken up permanently if he didn't find success in the world of acting.
Speaking to the Daily Star, the actor confirmed that he had decided that he would return to waiting full-time and turn it into his career if he couldn't find work. He went on to say, "When I went to drama school, I made a pact with myself, which was if I ever went back to waiting, I had to give it up."
Waiting tables wasn't all bad, though, with Craig also explaining how doing that type of job requires people to put on a persona. This is necessary so that the waiters can block out the stressful side of the work and not become bogged down by rude customers (via NPR).
