Oh, but he DOES have to work if he wants to eat and pay his mortgage to keep a roof over his head, doesn't he.
And the supply of actors far exceeds the numbers roles that cast each year. That is why the average income of SAG members from acting is less than $10,000 per year, which is below the federal poverty level set for California.
Actors do not call the shots. PRODUCERS call the shots.
And he does not get a role unless he first AUDITIONS for the role. Then the PRODUCERS decide if THEY want HIM. He does not get the role he auditioned for unless the PRODUCERS offer it to him.
That, uncle George, is how things work in the film and TV biz.
