Isn't this just an effect of supply and demand? with so many people wanting to be actors or musicians, working for almost nothing, how can you compete in that market if you don't love it?

That's right - the article is also saying that because there are many people who love doing it - that they would be willing to be paid less than someone who doesn't want.

It's competition between workers perhaps?
