VIENNA (AP) Oscar-winner Mira Sorvino says she could see giving up acting for her other passion human rights advocacy.
While saying she loves acting, she describes her efforts to stop human trafficking as "my calling."
That, she says, is so important that "in a decade or so, I wouldn't mind just switching to a career in humanitarian causes."
Sorvino spoke to The Associated Press on Friday after being extended as the U.N. Goodwill Ambassador to Combat Human Trafficking.
The 45-year-old won an Oscar as a prostitute with a golden heart in Woody Allen's "Mighty Aphrodite." She's had meaningful roles in over 50 films and TV productions in a career, and holds a Golden Globe and a host of nominations reserved for the world's best actors and actresses.
