One of the finest examples is truthfully shown in the famous sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Joey Tribbiani, who moved to New York to become an actor. However, it certainly wasn’t easy for him to get parts in the commercials even. Well, now the famous star, Millie Bobby Brown, went through something like Joey in real life.
