Could it be that the way to become one of the 2% is to just follow Steve Martin's advice: "Be So Good They Can't Ignore You"? 98% of people only kinda want it and the 2% who get it are the ones who put in the work to be remarkable. Those who don't make it in any field attribute the success of the few who do succeed to "luck". Luck (right place, right time and right skills - or looks in the case of acting) is definitely a factor in being able to do the work you love, but its absolutely not the only factor. Craftsmanship is the key; working really hard to be great at what you do. The advice at the end of this article is good advice for everyone; not just aspiring actors: “It’s not fair, and don’t be late”. Be punctual. But the author has excluded the most important advice that Nick Offerman offered in his book which is: show up early, work really hard and be known for both these things.
