Acting - So You Want To Be A Movie Star?
Being a Movie Star is everyone’s dream life. Money, fame, girls (or boys) everyone likes you and wants to know you. You are interesting and your life is full of adventures…. or is it?
To get to be a Movie Star you first need to climb the ladder. Like the NBA Star you also need to play little league, local then state, then national amateur then fainally you MIGHT be accepted into a second stream division.
As a beginning actor you are going to have to do lots of amateur practise first, you are going to have to work for free and fork out your own money for lessons, travel, getting costumes and paying for photos and for shooting your own showreels.
You are going to have to study and work for free.
Then when you finally make it into your first ‘big break’ and you get to serve coffee to the lead actors at a coffee shop while they discuss the plan - then you find out what acting is really all about.
“We don’t get paid to act, we do that for free because we like it, we get paid to wait around” - Attributed to John Candy
