I'm two years in and have only had a couple paid gigs (commercials). Modeling is a bit better, but I still have a part-time job. It's hard to break in.
Honestly I left acting just because it was so unstable and it was eating away at me.
Acting is not for the weak. You have to have tough skin. Out of 100 auditions, I only landed 2 roles. My highest check to date has been $5,000 but you will need another part time job or freelance gigs on the side.
The hours are extremely long. My first time on set they picked me up at 4am and I was on set until 2am the next day.
Yes. It will affect not only your physical health but also your mental health. I'd say it is not enough to compensate the effort and energy. But passion keeps me going.
