The third option sounds the most fun. Pretty minimal qualification, too: I might check the job boards, see if there are any vacancies...

But do you have that kind of face? Do people also mistake you for a saint or a librarian? :-D

This is not a great novelisation, sad to say. Four episodes of a well-written, balanced and thoughtful TV series compressed into a one dimensional novelisation with bonus missing sexism. Still, the author like describing Alfred Burke, and he did supply the extra info I hoped it might have, so I'm not complaining too hard.

Maybe he just has favourite characters? Then comes to others, goes, 'You, I hate you, your scene is getting cut right down. You're goin' daaahhn!'

It doesn't even seem to be that logical. He describes several people in loving detail at the start, and nearly has a fit over how beautiful he thinks Clare and Peter are, and then the only people he describes using actors' little quirks are Alfred Burke's character, and John Malcolm's (and he doesn't seem to like Kluge, he also says he has "little piggy eyes" and, yes, I do quote.) But then I kind of gave up expecting sense or good stuff after the early bout of extreme sexism.
