I used to hear that sentiment as a kid, too, but it has only been in the last decade or so that I understand where that comes from. Many actors are attracted by their ability to assume alter egos and separate themselves from their feelings of inferiority. Low self esteem can breed a low lifestyle as is readily apparent in Hollywood.
