In this sentence, the word “line” means an area of activity or interest. In Rafael’s sentence, the “line of work” he’s talking about is entertainment/movies/acting. Another example is,


A: I work in clothing design.


B: How can I get into that line of work?


A: You can study it in college.


I hope this helps!


Best,


Amy
