Recalling a conversation with a friend of his mother's who worked in theater, Giržadas was discouraged from following his dreams of acting due to her comments on the difficulties and uncertain future of an actor's career, particularly in Lithuania. Instead of pursuing acting, he made a pivotal decision to transition to television, which he now finds fulfilling.

Reflecting on his initial experiences in television, Giržadas described the anxiety he felt during his first filming, where nervousness caused his glasses to fog up, leading to a halt in shooting.

His dedication to preparation was evident as he would spend sleepless nights studying and researching the interviewees and topics he was expected to cover, demonstrating his commitment to improving and succeeding in his new role.

Giržadas's journey illustrates the struggle between following one’s passion and dealing with external skepticism. His eventual success in television serves as an inspiration for others who may doubt their capabilities or feel dissuaded by naysayers. The transition from stage to screen not only highlights a personal triumph but also reflects broader themes in the entertainment industry regarding the unpredictable nature of careers in acting, particularly in Lithuania, where opportunities can be limited.
