I don't know a whole lot about acting but it sounds like a really difficult career to make it big in. I suggest having a backup career in mind as well as avoiding drugs and scientology. |

Ok, so I just wanted to run my plans by you guys to see what you think. |

I'm not sure this thread is serious or not. I can never tell when CRAZY BONE/Maverick is joking. |
|
No, I was being completely serious haha. Thanks for the advice |
|
What I want to know is, how passionate are you about the craft of acting itself, and do you want to be famous, or do you want to be truly good? You can be both, but I'm just wondering how committed you are to giving the best acting performances you can... |

DILDs: A Lot
No offence but it sounds to me like you don't really know what you're doing. Neither would I. I think you should be better informed before you start making big decisions; speak to somebody who knows something about acting careers. |
|
I'd have to agree with Xei on this one. I think you need to do a lot more research on the subject, but I'm assuming you haven't |

Well your plan is way off. You can't work full time, 7 days a week and search for acting work and do auditions. Also any time you are doing a budget for something like that you need to add in at least 10-20% for the unexpected. If you didn't factor that in, for how much money you need, you better do that now. |

You are very brave, I’ll give you that… |
|
Well, what is your true goal in becoming an actor? |

Paul is Dead
First of all, it is highly possible that you can achieve, what you want to achieve if you dedicate yourself and your mind to it and work really hard. Skipping college is probably not the best idea to start from. The good thing is, that you're only 18 and still have time to move to L.A. If you can, don't skip the college. Education is the pathway to success. You said you have no formal training in acting. Doing theater is a great way to get some. So what I suggest is go to college, major in theater and then go to L.A. Working full time is probably also not the best idea, because you'd want to spend most of your day improving your acting skills, not working. This is a career that always needs improving, no matter how long you've been doing it. There is still something to improve. |

Do you have any training? I have a friend who's an actress, she spent four years at a performing arts school, and she's gorgeous. |
