One has to come to LA (ideally live there a bit) to see with their own eyes the amount of people trying to break through in movie industry.

Armies of wanna-be actors and actresses, but also ie screenwriters. We only see publicly the result of many consecutive layers of filters/funnels.

It's an old running joke that most waiters/baristas/etc in LA are aspiring actors. It's part of the reason that service workers in LA are so uncommonly hot on average.
Broadway and off-broadway are the same.
