I think this makes sense that you can be a great actor but not very famous. In RL, there are tons of actors that are have given a great performance (great at acting) but not "famous." In order to be famous you have to be in the public eye, not just good at what you do. Just look at the Kardashians - they are famous for being famous.
You also have the character actors who are good at what they do but they're not necessarily a household name. Maybe you're the "best friend" in the romantic comedy, or like Flo in the Progressive insurance ads, or Mr. Whipple for Charmin toilet paper. People recognize you for your character, not necessarily your real name.
