Hello,

I am a 27 year old male, fairly new to acting. My worst fear came try, I tried it, and loved it. My big regret is not taking classes earlier, but it hasnt been a total loss. I have been in school the last few years, and am finishing next month. I read a quote that said education is imperative for being a good actor, which makes sense, who wants to higher a stupid actor. Anyway, I live in the Boston area, but am planning on devoting a lot of time to studying acting this Summer, then moving to LA after the Summer. I feel I have to at least give it an honest effort. I will never forgive myself if I dont, the idea of not chasing your dreams is crazy, and I need to do it. Who cares if I fail, at least I tried. The uncertainy of not know what the future holds is very appelaing to me, but I use to shy away from it, now I welcome it. Anway, I welcome ALL comments, from ALL walks of life. Thanks. Oh, I am not a vain person, but I think I am a pretty good looking guy, and pretty smart, which I think is a plus. I am sure it helps, but I dont rely on it. I work on myself from the inside, which more people should. Anway, here is a picture of me. Not sure which one it was, so I uploaded both. I am the human, not the monkey. Thanks

Hey Steph,

Thanks for the comments. I have always maintained a positve attitude, something I belive is vital, not only in acting, but in life. You look at the negative people, and it usually comes from their anxieties and shortcomings in life, and they think everybody has the same thoughts, really ignorant. I have learned to ignore this, and really consider the source. Maybe for the better with the pics, I have a face for radio, haha. Actually, I have been told I look like a young Marlon Brando, quite a few times. Now if only I could act like him. Its a little premature, but eventually I was going to assume a stage name, any thoughts? I have an irish lastname, but I dont fit the bill for an Irish person, based on my Italian roots, and dark complexion.
