Yeah, totally. I also think we've long since entered a day and age where we need to, so to speak, diversify our portfolio. Trying to make it as just an actor is a dim proposition for most these days. Performers need to have more of an entrepreneurial spirit and a more diverse skill-set if they're going to make it as performers.
There's also crowdfunding. Platforms like kickstarter and indiegogo allow artists to pitch their projects (and themselves) directly to the audience and bypass the people who would deny them an opportunity because their skin is not the right shade of white.
