Not stage. I’m talking about actors using their skills to earn money either as a street performer or at private events. One of my students does birthday parties on weekends as characters such as Disney princesses, and she earns enough money where she does not need to get another job, which makes her available to audition for film/TV work during the week. Likewise, if there is a public area where there is a lot of foot traffic on the weekends or in the evening, actors can earn money using their “special skills.”
