No, no, no! Curves are beautiful!.
The stage is more forgiving than film, but you have a fine chance at either if you're really, really, really good at what you do!. Your body plays a part, but talent plays a bigger one!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's really the acting and your agent that counts!. You have to have someone ith good connections to get you good gigs and you have to fabulous skills to back it up to make sure you get rehired!. As for thinness!? Not really, but it depends what movie/show/commerial/play/drama you want to get into!. There can be a lot of typecasting, so they could be looking for someone more curvatuous just as much as they could be looking for someone who's chinese, or tall, or thin or black or is able to walk on their hands and do stunts!. I wouldn't worry too much about your weight, as long as you're a fabulous actor!. Good luck in the future!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Honestly, it doesn't really matter!s If you are good at what you do, and your personality is great, you can achieve anything! Stick to your dreams, and don't judge yourself based on other actors nowadays! Theay are all anorexic lol! Good luck don't wory =DWww@QuestionHome@Com

No you don't have to be stick thin, bu it is perhaps easier to get noticed at first!. Once you do get noticed you have to prove yourself, and that has little to do with your size!. You do need to be fit though, because it is hard work!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

you can look the way you want to!. They are looking for people to fill all kinds of positions so as long as your you and you dont go losing or gaining 20 pounds a day then it will be fine!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
