Interestingly enough, this theater is a Disney Focus Group location where they continually do audience surveys.

Absolutely. Because what you say is going to happen no matter what. You don't seek out the Hollywood spotlight unless you crave and want it. Otherwise you can be a stage actor, Broadway... There's plenty of options if you're in it for the love of acting.
That might have been true back even 10-15 years ago, but times are different now. Young people in Hollywood are more social media savvy now. They have seen what happens in the large franchises of the world, and what happens when fans get upset, and aren't running toward that.

Exactly! Any sane person. So going into it, you have to want it. But some get in and decide, huh, maybe I really don't want this. But the majority start off seeking that fame and fortune in my opinion.
I think people here have a different idea of what true fame and fortune are.

Conditions in Hollywood have changed Constantly for 100 years…
At one time they drank 18 hours a day…under lifetime contract for Pennies…and had to get garage abortions if it interfered with their shooting schedule…

Now social media and its drawbacks are part of the deal.

That’s life

They still want fame and fortune because it’s what life tells you to want.

You’re building an elaborate construct of actors that are not getting the right work after movies with stink on them.

Maybe it’s not this hard?
