The industry today
Today's talent face numerous challenges. For example, the streaming business model is less generous to actors compared to the previous network, syndication, and cable systems. They also face the phenomenon of being viewed as more interchangeable than in the past. These realities generally make for less stable careers, even for talented performers.
