-- Actor Perks --

When your Sim reaches Level 6 as an Actor they will gain a permanent bonus that reduces the entry requirements for clubs by 1 Level, allowing them to more easily enter almost any club, which you will find helps in your ongoing and seemingly never-ending challenge of acquiring more fame...   At Level 7 they will begin using their limo to go to work and travel, and at Level 10 they obtain the Actor's Trailer, which allows your Sim to change clothes and sleep pretty much anywhere it can be placed!

One of the bonus perks that you will have available is the ability to win awards like the Simmy Best Actor award -- accomplishments that naturally add to your ability to acquire fame and celebrity status.
While your Sim does not wear a specific uniform or outfit for each level of their job like other Sim careers, they will often find themselves being given special outfits and costumes that relate to their role in whatever film they are currently making, and they do have the option to wear that via their dresser at home!

You will notice that some Levels require good cast relationships -- to improve those be sure to choose opportunities that improve that, and to share the spotlight with other actors at events to gain their respect and friendship.  Once you have their friendship ringing them up to chat every now and then is also a good idea.  Remember gaining work Levels is also a good method for improving your ability to obtain celebrity status and vide-versa!
