Question: Is it worth it to try and become an actor/actress!?
It seems so fun, I mean, look at Narnia!. I love it and I would kill to star in a movie like that!. But the thing is-- I'm asian, I have no interest in being an chinese actress!. It'll probably be impossible for me, a chinese girl (I don't have an accent) to star in an "english" movie!. also, it seems like it's not going to be possible because well, I don't have experience, agent, or anything!. It's just a dream!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hey, I'm Asian too and I'm going to audition for a talent scout later next week so I say keep trying!
I have no professional experience at all, the only thing I've done that's in the performing arts category is take a part in my 8th grade play!.
So even if you try and don't make it, keep at it cuz you never know, you might get called back!
Good luck!

Only you can answer this question!. Worth is determined by how much you want this and how much work you are willing to put into making your dream come true!.

You don't have to be in a movie to act!

In movies there are roles for Chinese actors but less than for white actors!. On stage you actually have a better chance to act because they are not hung up on making millions of dollars by pandering to the hollywood stereotypes that all leads are slim, white, blond and young!.

If you want it to just be a dream then do nothing!. You'll never have it if you don't try!. If it is truely a passion nothing will stop you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well don't give up on it that easily!.!.!.sure a lotta people want to be famous and in big budget films, but that is not realistic!.

Since you mentioned that you dont have experience, i really want to suggest you do community theatre or film projects!.

These can be fun and truly pretty rewarding!.

Dont give up too easily on your dreams!!
