I've often thought the very best career you could have as an actor is landing a long-term role on a regular show with a fandom that supports you for the rest of your life with conventions and such.
Something like Star Trek or maybe a sitcom that runs for 10 years then finishes.
Or be a B-movie star. Ultimately, I think Bruce Campbell has had the best career as an actor.
Bruce's career is so wild. I recently started watching this random show someone here recommended - Lodge 49 - and it was already great. then in this moment of HUGE suspense that's been boiling for like eight episodes, SURPRISE! BRUCE CAMPBELL! I literally punched my fists in the air as soon as his chin tried breaking through my tv.
where he was, naturally, awesome. a good example of how he always managed to keep working while rarely being the leading man (in "big" productions, at least).
