Krysten Ritter chose acting over modelling because she’s "scrappy".
The ’27 Dresses’ star felt she was more "in control" when she went to audition for movies.
She told Esquire magazine: "Modelling trips were like being at camp with people that kind of looked weird and skinny like I did. The girls in high school were way worse. When you’re young, your brain’s not formed yet, so you just go with it.
"Then I went to these auditions and felt like I finally had some control over my life because I could always be better, funnier, show up on time, show up earlier. Whereas if you’re a model, you just show up and people look at your pictures and that’s it. I was never a wallflower. I’ve always been sort of scrappy."
Meanwhile, the 34-year-old actress previously gushed about her groundbreaking television series, ‘Jessica Jones’.
She said: "When they locked me in a room at Marvel and I read the first two [scripts] and walked out, [executive producer] Jeph Loeb asked me, ‘What do you think?’ I said, ‘I have to play her. It is a rare piece of material.’ I had been acting for over 10 years and I hadn’t seen anything like it before.
"I always knew it was bigger than me just getting a great part. I felt like it was groundbreaking material and a groundbreaking role."
