    I know I’m being a debbie downer, and my mostly-off topic follow up question is going to be in the same vein: Are you implying that these actors with second jobs can pay all their bills with only their second jobs? Does acting really pay so little; that’s nearly “hobby” territory.

      There’s a pretty wide gap between A/B listers that are household names making a guaranteed 7+ figures per role and people that fight for every small role they can get, often going weeks between roles, and often only earning SAG minimums.

        Sorry, I didn’t mean to give the impression that I thought all actors were the mega-rich ones; only that if acting pays so little, it’s the second job, if you ask me.
