  I've always heard it said by friends who work in the film industry that in Britain, the standard actor attitude is that acting is their bread-and-butter job and occupation, and they relate to it in the same way that, say, a computer programmer relates to his job.  Whereas once American actors become Names, no matter how down-to-earth they remain in their likes and dislikes, they have a tendency to think of acting as a birthright and artistic lifestyle.
