I really want to pursue this seriously. Go figure, I will be finished college in May, but I realize that I have to do what makes me happy, despite how far fetched it may seem. Besides, their are tons of actors who didnt start till their mid twenties. I think I have a raw talent that could be shaped. This has been afirmed by my acting teacher and many in the class, who were surprised that I have no prior experience. What do yo advice. I am not vain, but based on what males and females tell me, spaning from all parts of the globe, I would consider myself above average for looks, and fairly smart. I know I am just one in a pool of millions, but subtle hints over the years suggest that this may be my calling. Thanks
if it makes you happy and you love i dont see anything that should stop you from doing it and yeah a lot of actors start in there mid twenties and looks shouldnt be what youre supposed to be concerned about if you love this craft its more of your knowledge about the craft and developing and honing your tools as an actor even if you dont get into big time films or movies theres alway the theater which is also a good place to hone ones skills good luck to you and your acting career.
