Another reason in why he married a sister.
Living in LA I've known at least a dozen people who were trying to make it in that world and there are basically just three tiers.
1. You're famous. I've had two friends make it here. One of them has been a full-time co-star in at least 7-8 different TV series and a couple movies, plus does voice work for a few other series. She's been first billing in several of her TV shows and two of them lasted six seasons each. She makes $50,000+ an episode now. The other one was trying to grind as an actress but actually ended up making it as a reality star, she got famous off of one show and parlayed that into other reality gigs and shows and eventually a book deal. She was living the high life for a while but the work dried up after about 10 years and she's not in the industry anymore. Plenty of people here would know both of them.
2. You're not famous but you're making enough work to get by. Like I was saying, it's a real grind even if you're known enough to get "guest star" roles and shyt. The vast majority never even make it this far.
3. You call yourself an actor but really you're an office worker who has acting dreams on the side. This is 90% of actors in LA. It's unbelievable how many people I've know who try to make it in LA, get occasional gigs as extras or whatever, every once in a while they get a speaking line, but they never, ever will make enough to actually make ends meet via acting. The whole industry feeds off these people.

Or maybe she's just a racist bytch.
You can't be serious.
There are racist white women with actual black boyfriends and black sons all over America, but you don't think a racist white woman would even pretend for a moment for a paycheck.
If a White woman said, "I'll fukk a black man for fun but I'd never marry one", does that make her non-racist cause she put out?
Trump had a Black girlfriend, he must not be racist.
Liam Neeson literally was walking the streets of London looking for a Black man to kill, but you think he can't be racist because he made out with Viola Davis in a movie.
You bring up two white men that already tells me you don't understand the gender roles.
Hell viola Davis said it was groundbreaking that she had a white male love interest
She could be or she just might not liked dude.
If she was that racist dude should have called her out years ago.

This dude's problems started right away with the script 'white man's worst nightmare' 
That show's first season was 
If you think random B-list supporting actresses in Hollywood have huge power just because they're White you're clueless. She might be able to use her race to make life hard for a similarly low-level Black actor on the set, but ain't gonna just turn down a regular TV role and expect her meal ticket was gonna come. What was her biggest role at that point....being part of an ensemble cast in Final Destination? She was still having to audition for roles, she wasn't going to win an audition like that for a role that could last multiple seasons and then turn it down just because the writers put her with a black guy she was uncomfortable with.
Even star actresses were forced to let old men touch them just so they could stay in the good graces of the industry. This woman wasn't even a star, she's just a supporting actress in teen dramas and horror flicks for the most part. She wasn't ever at the level where she could just turn down whatever roles she was offered and expect more to come. Even racists still have to feed their families.
Ali Larter 'Heartbroken' by Her Heroes Co-Star Leonard Roberts' Accusations of On-Set 'Tension,' Insists It 'Doesn't Match My Memory Nor Experience'

Ali Larter is speaking out after unflattering accusations from her Heroes co-star Leonard Roberts came to light.
“I am deeply saddened to hear about Leonard Roberts’ experience on Heroes and I am heartbroken reading his perception of our relationship, which absolutely doesn’t match my memory nor experience on the show,” the actress says in a statement to TVLine. “I respect Leonard as an artist and I applaud him or anyone using their voice and platform. I am truly sorry for any role I may have played in his painful experience during that time and I wish him and his family the very best.”
In case you missed it, Roberts — who is Black, and played D.L. Hawkins on the hit NBC drama — went public with a lengthy essay in Variety on Wednesday, blaming friction with co-star Larter and a lack of diversity behind the scenes for his abrupt firing from Heroes after just one season. “The script suggested D.L. and [Larter’s character] Niki had a volatile relationship — and it wasn’t long before art was imitating life,” Roberts wrote, detailing an incident where Larter complained about a bedroom scene with him, but “apparently had no issue” shooting a seduction scene with co-star Adrian Pasdar. “I couldn’t help wondering whether race was a factor,” Roberts added.
Roberts went on to say that series creator Tim Kring informed him he was being killed off at the start of Season 2 “due to ‘the Ali Larter situation'” and said the two “didn’t have ‘chemistry.'” The actor also noted that there were no Black writers on the Heroes staff and that all the Black cast members were pushed to the back and side during a “particularly odd” photoshoot.
Kring said in a statement to Variety: “Looking back now, 14 years later, given the very different lens that I view the world through today, I acknowledge that a lack of diversity at the upper levels of the staff may have contributed to Leonard experiencing the lack of sensitivity that he describes. I have been committed to improving upon this issue with every project I pursue. I remember Leonard fondly and wish him well.”
Larter recently co-starred on Fox’s Pitch and ABC’s The Rookie, and is set to star in The Sidelines, an upcoming Fox comedy series about a 40-year-old mom pursuing a dream to be a pro football cheerleader.
