Position:Home>Theater & Acting> Is being a (chinese kid) actress a bad idea?


Question:Well, im chinese... Im 13... Its so awesome seein those actresses/actors do awesome stunts and crazy scenes in movies, and it would be soo cool to be one of em! You get to say things youve never been able to say and stuff.

But is it a good idea? I mean.. I wouldnt wanna be an actress in a chinese film, omg i would die!! Even II find chinese annoying... But how many young chinese actress/actors do you actually see in hollywood?

There are lots of great asian actresses out there, take korean borrn Sandra Oh, currently in Grey's Anatomy, a well respeted and truly amazing actress on stage and screne, there is nothing holding you back, no matter, size, race, age or disability, there is a niche for everyone, otherwise we would not have theatre or film - it is there to portray real life, and you are real are you not?

Look, speaking as an actress, i know it is hard no matter who you are or where you come from, its your ability that counts, go to drama school and be an actress, i did and it worked...

No its a great idea!!

Break down some walls and so the next asian actors/actresses will have you to thank for leading the way...

I see Jackie Chan and Brenda Song.

you could be like the little kidnapped daughter of the chinese consulatel in that movie rush hour.
i bet we see her soon in another movie. she played her role well. ill bet jackie chan uses her in his next movie.

I don't see a lot
But I wanna be an actress to!
(american)
But you could be the start
of a breakthrough! The Idol
among Chinese everywere! lol
I wanna be an actress so bad.
And we're the same age.
So maybe I'll see you in Hollywood
or Broadway one day! =)

Good Luck!

Oh, I also write poems
and stories
And I draw

Oh yes you should go for it! I mean, start out taking acting classes in your area and such. But people are always looking for diverse actors/actresses in movies! Go for it! :)
