Position:Home>Theater & Acting> Becoming an actor.?

Question:I am 15, turning 16 in 3 months and 12 days....

I know starting off early, and having that special thing when your acting really is an advantage, but how good are my chances to make it as a famous actor? I mean I am top of my drama class, I am really funny guy, I have a good personality, and most of all a good actor. I have never done any acting until this yea in grade 10, and my teacher was blown away. She wants to help me getting into a commercials, theatre, media...etc

I know no matter what people say, I WILL NEVVERRRR GIVE UP. You can cut my throat, torture me into not ruining and wasting my life to become a millionaire actor, I will refuse. I am not any other guy on the internet trying to look for some sympathy and a pat on the back, I am dead serious about how amazing I am. You never heard of me at all, and you might think I am just another actor wannabe or whatever, but I really want to know what are my chances.

I want to start a tv show, or maybe stare in a movie...

Make your dream the total focus of your life but do not neglect your school studies or family obligations.

Be prepared to invest several years of your life learning all you can to prepare yourself to be better than the competition. You will be up against thousands of stardom hopefuls. You must stand out with a strong resume of accomplishments.

I always say this - "Overnight success takes 10 to 15 years!"

When you examine the biographies of famous actors you will find a long struggle before stardom came.

Be realistic. Chase your dream with a plan. Do local theater, commercials, etc. Get as much experience as you can right now. It will pay off later.

I hope this encourages you (not that you need it).
