RP is already mainstream - just not the kind that's any fun.
Part of my "jerb" involves dealing with our clients/employees in an official capacity, and since I don't spend every waking moment doing so, and I am not in any actuality myself a living, breathing organization, I'm playing a role every time I take a job on.
I've met a lot of bigwigs who like RPing that they are smarter and better than everyone else, who go home and then RP a more submissive character. Just like a lot of us, though, they are one bad day from having to completely reject that role, and make it become just as much fantasy and unreal as me playing a high-fantasy bard.
It's the people who truly believe that the role they play for money is the only role they can play, that I am sorry for.
