I dated someone who was from Portland OR. Didn't want to move to NY or LA until he got a job that would move him to NY or LA. Yeah, that's never going to happen. So he was going to be making crap money with no prospect of ever making more. And not realistic about the business enough to know how it works. We had other issues, but this one scared me the most.
He ended up marrying a lawyer and leaving acting. He was in is 40's and taking jobs that most 20yo take.
This is one of my concerns. He is comfortable where he is.

I agree. Assh*les are in every profession.

Did you ever worry if he was a liar?

I was a working actor for many years. I got married while I was one.

As I have heard about acting, it is 99% rejection yet attracts people with a tremendous need for approval so keep that in mind. I briefly dated a woman who had bit parts on soap operas and was also involved with theater management. It was fine - she treated it like any other job.

Movie star actor. No way no how..
The guy who was always cast as the sidekick, best man or non-romantic parts? Sure.
