I think there's a personality defect that draws people to the acting profession.
I recall a story Dustin Hoffman told about Laurence Olivier.
While filming a movie together(Marathon Man) they had dinner one evening. Hoffman
asked the legend why he acted. Olivier leaned toward him and kept
repeating over and over, "look at me, look at me, look at me"
I think once these people have tasted success and fame they simply can't
walk away from it and will do anything to remain in the limelight.
Up until WWII even the most celebrated stage actors weren't permitted to stay in
some of the best hotels in Europe because acting was synonymous with prostitution.
The occultist Kenneth Anger chronicled the sordid lives and scandals of movie stars
going back to the silent era in his book Hollywood Babylon.
Back in my student days I used to work as an extra in movies shot in around a major
American city. It paid quite well, you got fed lunch, and most of the day was just spent
sitting around. I didn't have any desire to become an actor but every other extra
I met was desperate to be discovered. Whenever one of the stars would come out of
their trailer they behaved as if Raphael appeared to Tobit. It was sickening how star struck
they were. Actors have become the new demi gods in the pagan pantheon of our society
