Hollywood's biggest stars don't need a side hustle. They get to pick and choose projects and enjoy time off when not working.
But what about the typical actor not named Tom Cruise or Scarlett Johansson?
Some will get steady work on cruise ships, which can be a good way to get the experience needed for bigger opportunities. But there are other gigs ranging from life coach to florist to personal trainer.
On this episode, we talk about the ups and downs of acting, which isn't as glamorous as it may appear.
We also talk about "The Accountant 2," which is now in theaters and the huge background cast involved.
And one of the biggest movies in theaters right now is 20 years old — the re-release of "Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith."
