There was a time when an actor would start out on the stage, usually starting in stock, the progressing to off-Broadway, then the Great White Way, and finally to Hollywood and (usually) motion picture stardom.
Nowadays, it's established film stars appearing in Broadway productions, such as Glenn Close in a revival of "Sunset Boulevard", and Uma Thurman about to appear in a play.
IMO, the stage is the much more demanding medium, requiring actual acting ability without the benefit of editing, clever camera work, CGI, etc.
Laurence Olivier always believed that the theater was superior to movies, and only made movies for the money, especially in his later years.
