Jessica Biel revealed she almost quit Hollywood before executive-producing and starring in the hit series 'The Sinner.' During an appearance on 'The Bright Side' podcast, the 42-year-old actress recalled how she became discouraged after co-founding her production company Iron Ocean and struggling for over a decade to get a project picked up. 'Doors did not open at all, even being in the business for so long,' Biel said.
We had a very challenging time getting any story told.' The '7th Heaven' alum explained she and Purple produced a short film and a full-length feature movie, which she described as a 'labor of love.' However, the two were unable to sell either project. 'And then not until many years later, that's when we were introduced to 'The Sinner' and then built that show from the ground up,' Biel said.
Biel and Purple went on to produce the 2022 Hulu miniseries 'Candy,' which also starred the 'Total Recall' actress. The duo executive-produce the hit thriller series 'Cruel Summer.' While speaking on 'The Bright Side' podcast, Biel shared that it was a 'humbling' experience to prove she could be a successful producer despite having an established acting career. 'It was basically like starting over on some level,' she said.
So, it just wasn't the right time either, and we were fighting against all the elements. It was a very humbling experience, and it still continues to be humbling.' Biel said achieving success in Hollywood can be difficult for anyone. 'I don't find that my industry — or being an actor or producer — is easy in any way, shape or form,' she said.
