Rachel Bloom is a perfect example of creating your own work and career. Nobody was beating down her door to star in any of their projects. She started making (really well done) YouTube videos. One video went viral (called "F*ck Me Ray Bradbury," which is about exactly what you think it is about), which led to a writing job on Robot Chicken, and then her creating and starring in her own show, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. I will scream it until my throat is raw, you do not need anyone's permission to have an acting career.
