Colman Domingo thinks some young actors might not be cut out for the pressure of show business.

Domingo questioned reports about a toxic work environment on the set of Euphoria , telling The Independent on Sunday that intense schedules and long shoots are just part of a normal work day in Hollywood.

Im not gonna invalidate [anyones] experience. But working in television is long hours, he said.

In a 2022 investigation by The Daily Beast, people involved with the edgy HBO series second season said multiple complaints were made to SAG-AFTRA after background actors had to endure long, disorganized night shoots, often without proper meal or bathroom breaks.

Domingo, who won an Emmy for playing recovering addict Ali Muhammad on the show, told The Independent, Sometimes you work up to 14 hours a day. And then you have to go home and prep.

You have to really live and work in a very methodical way. A lot of young actors may not be up for the task, or have that same work ethic.
