Bryan Cranston
I saw an interview with him once, and honestly, you never know how people truly are, but he said something about a friend getting a part that he wanted (or a friend was having success and he wasn’t), and he found that the right attitude was to be just supportive of your friend’s success and that it just wasn’t the right part at the right time and eventually the right part finds you.
He may not have meant it in the way he meant it, but I always thought that was very classy. I’ve gotten some breaks and had some near misses, but I know that always being jealous of someone else’s success just causes ulcers.
