Do you need perfectly straight teeth to be an actor?

I never got braces and my teeth aren't perfectly straight. I don't have huge gaps or anything in my mouth, but like 4 of my teeth in my mouth aren't super straight. I was always told you need perfect teeth (and really white) teeth to be an actor. Is this true?

I've been told I'm eerily similar to one of the top actors of our days and honestly it sucks

I don't mean to be boasting about this, I wouldn't have ever noticed it if not for those multiple directors, DPs and casting agencies. And while that sounds like a cool thing, it really isn't. I'm acting and in an acting school currently myself, only on a...
