Alfred Molina 'planned catering career'

Alfred Molina has revealed that he was planning to work as a caterer if acting didn't work out.

According to WENN, the Spider-Man 2 star came from a long line of chefs.

"Logically, my profession should have been as a caterer. My mother's Italian; my father, an immigrant from Spain, became a waiter in London who graduated to maitre d'. As a boy, I worked alongside him. Waited tables. My godfather was a chef," he said.

But after finding the theatre scene, Molina snubbed his family's chosen profession, took a pay cut and set out to perform as an actor.

"I remember that last job. My then hotel manager father asked me to work with him. I said no, I was off to earn ten pounds a week acting in the theatre. And I left. Even though I made twice that as a waiter," he added.
