Look at Gleason in The Honeymooners. He was humorous but the way he lived wasn't really humorous. He was a bus driver. Who wants to be a bus driver? He didn't have any money and he was not famous. But despite that the show is humorous.
I have actor friends but they're not famous. I feel like if you're an actor or - famous you have to overly prove that you're a normal cool person.
