Very true. Jim Walker, former LA Phil principal flutist and one of the very best players in the world, left the orchestra early on, mainly to do studio work. Another outstanding player, Paul Fried, played 2nd flute in the Boston Symphony and also left for LA to do studio work when he was very young and has been there ever since. Both nice guys.In the golden age the movie industry employed fulltime orchestras and they were at least the equal of the LA Phil. The famous Hollywood String Quartet was composed of members of those orchestras.
Edit: We should also mention Louis Kaufman. A great violinist who played with Casals, Heifetz, etc., he could have had a major concert career but chose a very well-paid, comfortable existence as the Hollywood studio's leading violinist. Probably the most recorded violinist of all time, you've heard his playing if you've seen Gone With The Wind, Psycho, and a whole lot of movies in between.
