• Answer:

  1.Up and coming actors probably live where their finances will allow them to, and established actors probably live in more upscale neighborhoods like Hollywood and Venice beach. 2. Probably when they started out, it would make sense for two or more up and coming actors to live together to help each other out by putting their finances together to pay the bills instead of each person trying to make it own their own, plus you can help each other out with auditions and readings. 3. I would think any job that's available that will keep a roof over their head and food on the table until they make it. 4. Theatre, stage shows, maybe some behind the scenes work just to have a well rounded know how of all the workings of the biz, 5.That's something you are going to have to research, you have to figure out how much money you are going to need for things like rent, travel, food, clothing and other things that will help you in the pursuit of your career and then find a job that can provide the finances for these things. it's going to be tough but if this is something you want then you will go the extra mile and make sacrifices to make it.
