Being an actor in the past was hard for several reasons: Lack of Opportunities: In the past, there were limited avenues for actors to showcase their talent. There were only a few theater companies, film studios, or television networks, resulting in fierce competition for the limited roles available. Limited Exposure: Without the internet, social media, or global connectivity, actors had a harder time gaining widespread recognition. It was challenging to reach a broad audience, and actors often had to rely on word-of-mouth or local theater to build a reputation.
