I saw a comment once that hollywood actors are all just the same "weird theater kids" from High School.
... and 'politics is Hollywood for ugly people'.
I feel like Trump is the actual best possible example of that, along with the considerable set of shitass right wing commentators who are failed creatives/entertainers of some kind.
Add in rich parents and basically.
"I'm going to make it in hollywood, i was so good in my high-school production of "Oklahoma" there's no way I'm not going to make it."
LoL, I mean its one of those one way connections. Like all Hollywood actors are weird theater kids but not all weird theater kids are Hollywood actors.
And its not all, but its probably more "most". But for the most part, some random, jock football player isn't turning into the next big time Hollywood actor, its the kid who did an overzealous Oklahoma production.
Actually probably not that kid either, they probably went on to broadway. Hollywood will be the one who did "a good job" as the reocuring background character.
