Question: I'm 22, am I too old to become an actor!?
I'm 22

I've been staudying for three years and am now a Graphic Designer!.

I don't want to be a Graphic Designer anymore, I wan't to be an actor!.!.!.

Is it too late for me to go to school and learn to be an actor and be successful!?

Would it have been better to start from when I was younger!?

Do you know of any famous actors who started late in life and not when they were young!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not necessarily!. It's true that most start out as kids/teens, but that's not always the case!. It's never too late if you've got talent and gumption!.

1!. Training!. Acting/Dancing/Singing classes are a good start!. You start to get some talent under your belt, and grow your confidence!. Plus, if after about a year of classes if you realize you really don't like it, it'll be easier for you to back out!.

2!. Experience!. Do Community Theater, act in your school play, get in some student films, etc!. You'll want to do as many productions as possible to have a great resume!.

3!. Agent!. http://www!.soyouwanna!.com/site/syws/tale!.!.!.

As you can see, you're going to need to spend at least two years (At the VERY least!. Usually you'll need three to four!.) building yourself up!. You'll want to make sure this is what you really want to do before you start getting into this!.

also, you should NEVER have to pay for anything when it comes to getting an agent!. If an agent tells you to take special classes from them or a website asks for a credit card number, that is a red flag that it is a scam!. Some of the big scammers out there are: John Robert Powers, Millie Lewis, John Casablancas, Proscout, Model Look, Barbizon!.

Hope this helps and I wish you a fantastic career!. =)Www@QuestionHome@Com

All depends on how good you are at acting, which arguably comes from experience!. If you believe in fate, you will be successful whether you are a graphic designer or an actor!. If you believe in making your 'own destiny', then go for the acting career path if that is what makes you happy!.

Personally, these two career paths are quiet distinct!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
