Actor Out of Work

"Actor Out of Work" is a song by American musician St. Vincent for her second studio album Actor (2009). It was released on April 20, 2009, through 4AD, as the second single from the album. Written in one night as a reaction to her producer's comments on the rest of Actor, the song features an aggressive rock sound and lyrics addressing a deceitful lover.

"Actor Out of Work" was accompanied by a music video featuring actors crying at an audition run by St. Vincent. The song received positive reviews from music critics upon its release and has since attracted praise as a highlight of Actor and one of St. Vincent's best songs.
