Question: Would it hurt your chances of getting a role on a show if you have a big scar on your hand or anywhere else!?
My friend has a big burn scar on her right hand!. She is such an amazing actress and she reallys wants to make it big, but she is worried the scar would be in the way!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Being an actress can be really tough, and yes, people may turn her down simply because she has a scar!. However, if a director really wants her, they'll take her!. If she's exactly what they're looking for, they'll make do, either with putting make-up over it to cover it up (stage theatre) or by using a computer to take it out (screen theatre)!. She doesn't need to worry about that, she needs to maintain focused on her goal and become the best actress she can be; they'll over look something physical if she has the talent!. For example, if you ever watch the Hannah Montanna Show on the disney channel or what not, you'll notice that Miley Cyrus (I don't think I spelled that right, lol) seems to have a slight lisp when she talks, but she's still an actress and an amazing singer!. I can't remember who or in what movie, but there was some actor/actress that had a kaballa (excuse the spelling!.!.!.lmao, I'm not in my element today) bracellet on and they spent, I believe, over a million dollars to take it out with computer technology!. Performers with tattoos and such get make-up and such put over them all the time!.

All in all, she doesn't need to worry!.

Hope I helped!.

On her hand!? That shouldn't hinder her too much (depending, of course, on the role) A bit of make up should hide it and she may get certain roles BECAUSE of it (again, depending on the role) She shouldn't let it hold her back in her mind either, it's just the same as an actor with glasses or dodgy teeth (I have both lol) it might not look great, but sometimes they're not looking for a hottie, they're looking for a real person!.!.!.xxxWww@QuestionHome@Com

If she is skilled, they will overlook that (unless she wants to be a hand model -:))

Actors with scars:
Harrison Ford has a scar on his chin!.
Liz Taylor has a scar on her throat, as does Catherine Zeta-Jones!.
Diane Lane has a scar near her eye!.
Gary Burghoff (Radar O'Reilly) is missing a finger on one hand!.
Stacy Keach and Juoaquin Phoenix have hair lips!.
Many actors have acne scars!.
And Bob Balaban has a club foot!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No way!!!! Talent is talent, like a hotdog with mustard, no denying raw talent! You've got to let your heart LeAp into the character, (a scar won't matter) if you worry, put some cover up on it!. Works like Magic!. Your in my prayers! Good luck

If they were really good, nothing's going to get in their way!. That said, CGI and body make-up is amazing, it can hide anything!. Plastic surgery could also help in minimizing the scar!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No it wont ruin her chances, i doubt they would even notice the scar, but you could hide it using foundation or use scar medichen to get rid of it quickly!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
