superstarblue89 answered Tuesday March 27 2007, 11:06 pm: well first off...it's pretty damn hard to become an actor...most start out on stage...do a lot of stage work in your community...get some real experience under your belt..and until your getting leads your not ready...make sure you get a few of them too before you really push it...they also don't make much starting out...there are millions competing for your job just so you know...in case it doesn't work out I'd look at some serious back-ups...some that maybe not the entire world wants lol...I wouldn't say that you have to be really smart...a good speller maybe...considering it's an English field if you think about it...If you are still really pushing for it...please realize you will not become Brad Pitt overnight...in fact you'll probably get shot down a ton before making anything for yourself...but really first just get some experience under your belt...make sure you can handle it [ superstarblue89's advice column | Ask superstarblue89 A Question ]

However, almost all actors, after a lot of time spent auditioning, etc. make their money from commercials and have another job on the side.
It is almost impossible to be a movie actor- there's millions of people competing for a few little jobs. I'd recommend doing plays (or community theatre for now) instead, and maybe looking into other careers. [ xokristabelle's advice column | Ask xokristabelle A Question ]
