Hiring of actors and actresses is expected to increase by approximately 32% between 2020 and 2030, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov). Acting jobs were expected to rise as interactive media and online movies become more mainstream. Many people enter this field seeking fame and fortune, but often they go on to other fields because of long work hours, sporadic acting jobs and meager wages. This trend may produce a steady stream of work for the most dedicated performers.
