I want to chase my dream. I want to become an actor. To be renowned as one of the greatest ever.

ATL paid.. Cali blazed
On sum real shyt ..you need to do background work and not be ugly...I got 3 Sag slips my first 6 months in La...it usually take years to get them..when I tell people I got them in 6 months they either wanna fight or don't believe it. Sign up with a agency they charge monthly but are worth it. I was paying my bills doing background worked because I stayed booked..I woulda been doing stand ins if I didn't quit

Long story short, use a free trial of imdb pro, look up every actor you think gets gigs in your desired niche, check their profile to find their talent agencies. Get agencies info and call/email them till someone gives you a shot.

No bullshyt...I wouldn't even try to be an actor. I'd pull an RDCworld1 and start doing skits/dramas with my friends. Best case scenario, maybe someone finds you and offers you something.

Worst case maybe you build a source of additional income following your passion as a YouTube actor.

Doubters come with it. Motivates me.

I'm getting messages of people being mean to me for NO reason whatsoever but just because. :pachaha:

But that's life.

Still gonna do me.
