Actress Claire Danes considered becoming an interior designer when she failed to get acting work for two years in a row.
The 34-year-old actress, who stars as CIA agent Carrie Mathison in hit TV series 'Homeland', struggled for two years and came close to giving up acting, reported Contactmusic.
"It was confusing. I got a lot of plaudits and it didn't translate into more work. Two years of not working was brutal. It was grim. I was very hurt. A point came where I thought, 'I really like interior design'," she said.
The American drama, which airs its third series in the US in September, launched her career and since she has won a Golden Globe award for the Best Actress.
