A 'self drive' is a name used by tv/film crews for a local actor that is a bit too big for there britches. Usually a 'self drive' is only a small part of the production. However they demand far too much attention, are hard to please and take themselves far too seriously. They are a general pain in the ass for the costume, hair, make-up, props department and assistant directors who try to assist them. They are far more trouble than the principle actors that are driven to work by a cast driver.
"Just who the hell does that actor think she is? I've altered her costume three times and she's still bitching. Fucking Self Drive."
"That Self Drive has caused me more grief in one day that the lead actors have in a month."
