Do Actors Strive to be Famous?

Posted by: Zelgo 12:09 pm EDT 08/08/14

Fame allows actors to take control of their careers and pick and choose roles better (and generally become wealthier). It also comes with tons of downsides.

Do actors, in general, strive to be famous?

American actors do. That's for sure. And that's why this country has so many celebrities and fewer and fewer serious actors.

Most of today's "celebrities" aren't actors.

I guess all of those folks I walk past every night are aliens then.

What a silly comment.

I don't think there's an "in general" answer to this question.

I suspect most just strive to be employed and to have a chance to practice their art.
