O1 visa along with H1b visa

[pss2125]

Hello,

 

Iam currently working on H1b Visa. Additionally, I am taking some acting classes and am getting some gigs in independent films. I wanted to know if I could additionally apply for O1 visa and simultaneously hold both H1B and O1 visa and work in films using O1 visa during weekends and continue my job during weekday on H1B visa.

 

Is it possible? If not, what other way exists for me to work in commercials/films/tv while also maintaining my H1b day job.

 

Thanks,
