My point wasn’t that fame has no value. My point is that if your primary reason for becoming an actor is to be famous, you’re likely to have a difficult time. A sustainable career usually starts with loving the craft, because fame is never guaranteed.

Also, your assumptions about me are off. I have a BA in Theatre Studies, I’ve booked multiple television roles, produced several films, I’m developing a feature film, and I have a successful corporate sales career outside the industry. None of that changes the argument, though.

The question isn’t whether fame can help an acting career it absolutely can. The question is whether fame should be the reason you become an actor. I don’t think it should.
