I think he means goes to school at all. I'd say most brit actors trained in some kind of college or school even if they didn't go to a big posh drama school. Whereas Americans get a lot more people just deciding to be actors, getting agents and going to auditions whereas Brits have a reputation for being trained and having a discipline.

I'd agree with them 15-20 years ago but since the rise of the reality stars it's the same all over. You get people becoming movie stars and TV stars overnight just because they want fame.
