Dealing with getting auditions for roles that offend you?

So I am a middle eastern actor so you can guess what stereotypical role I can’t avoid: the terrorist. I actually have bright eyes with a lighter and don’t look “stereotypically” middle eastern but even now it’s like I can’t avoid this kind of role in 2018. My...

ACTORS WANTED

I’m honestly curious how successful actors got their start? Is it more common for it to be a “since birth/ mom and dad are rich af” thing. Did they have connections or just randomly go to auditions (I’m interested but wouldn’t even know where to begin)...

Taking Killians Commercial Workshop Foundation Class in LA because I’ve heard it’s the best commercial workshop in town. I’ve heard Killian can be a drill sergeant, yelling at actors, rude. Is this true? Are the other teachers the same way?

I do have dyslexia and it’s nerve racking enough that we are given 15 mins to learn sides.

Are hollywood actors/actresses actually the best actors or are the best actors/actresses on stage ?

Sometimes I wonder if the actors and actresses are actually good at acting or do they just the glory of "best actor" because they appear on screen more and we can see them more often. I literally don't know what good acting is though.

Is Los Angeles truly the greatest place to be as an actor?

Hi. I am from England and often see many British actors heading out to LA to continue their acting career. It seems that LA is the place to be for an actor, no matter where you are on the ladder of acting. I know that London is a great place for acting too...
