Its only when you are a great actor and are recognised for your good work that you become famous. Unless you are in the news for the wrong reasons! ↗

The crossover wasn't happening. TV actors were TV actors, and film and stage actors were a whole different thing. And now there's just a lot of crossover. ↗
