Esposito’s career underscores the precarious nature of acting careers. Unlike stars like Ellen Pompeo or Olivia Benson, whose long-running shows afford them financial security, the majority of actors live on the edge, taking roles wherever they can find them—television, film, voice acting, commercials, and theater. His extensive list of recent credits—ranging from Harley Quinn to The Mandalorian and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners—demonstrates his versatility and the sheer volume of content these days.

He notes that the current boom in streaming content has actually benefited actors like himself. The proliferation of shows and movies means demand for reliable, talented character actors is higher than ever, allowing Esposito to work consistently and support his family.
