I think long term, both can be viable forms of employment (well latter would be if unionized, pursuing similar gigs to compliment acting like modelling and commercial work), but for short term they may be easy to enter although come with the same issues: inconsistent schedules, paradoxically bad reliability, terrible pay, dealing with shady people, etc. However for security guard I'd need to pay hundreds of dollars for the training, background check, exams, and licensing whereas for background actor, I have to pay commission fees to the agencies or even annual membership fees (some do) and the pay is painfully slow/bureaucratic. Still worth doing either because they both are always in demand, pretty much anybody can qualify for it, and how the job operates is quite transparent/obvious (especially in this economy where pink collar jobs are as unlikely as winning the lottery to get, whereas gig apps are very unreliable due to strict rules and weird algorithms along with low pay).
