Waiters waiting for...?

I recently had dinner in Tahoe. I was there working on a job. And my waiter's name was Dayne (pronounced Dana). Now in LA the people who wait on tables are more than a waiter. They are waiter/actor/writer/director. In a sense they really are waiters. Waiting for that break...
But what is Dayne beyond being a waiter? Is he a student? What is his passion? Very few people are waiters for their entire life. It's a job that pays rent. What is the rest of their life like?
Only in LA or NYC are waiters obviously more than people who bring you food or fill your iced tea glass. What are the waiters in Iowa? Kids who don't want to be farmers?
I wanted to ask Dayne what else he did, but couldn't figure out how to ask it without seeming like a rude arse.
