Answer to Question 1

Unlike stage actors, screen actors have backups to deal with issues such as stunts; there are no close ups in stage acting, so actors must be expressive with their entire bodies; screen actors have fewer lines than stage actors; and screen actors have the freedom to fail.

Answer to Question 2

The U.S. government prioritizes spending on the military, the national debt, and education over spending on the arts by a wide margin.
