There are six feature films planning to shoot in my state this summer, and I'm interested in auditioning to be in the background of those films, but don't know how to start. Is there a website or something you would recommend? Or do they post on [Indeed.com](https://Indeed.com) or something? Thank you!

I’m not talking about fanmail but more like, how Carey Mulligan sent Julian Fellows letters when she was 18 to ask for him to help her start her career and guide her. Or other cases where actors say they sent emails/letters to celebrities or other established industry folks who could help them. First of all, how the he…

I’m moving to nyc soon and hoping to pursue acting as a hobby outside of my job. I’d like to know which parts of nyc have a strong acting community if there are any? Maybe close to some of the classes and whatnot. Let me know :)

I have some acne scars and it makes me very self conscious as an actor. I wish they showed more actors on television and movies that didn’t have perfect skin!

Taking a zoom acting class, and first assignment out the gate is your standard "Who Am I?" 5-min any format you'd like just make it theatrical autodrama. I am not one who likes talking about myself.

We’ve heard it time and time again: “the odds are one in a million”, “if there’s anything else you can think of doing, do that”, “most actors don’t make it”, etc. What I’m curious about is how true these statements actually are. Specifically, how true it is for actors that actually move to LA and pursue acting full-tim…

I heard that actors mostly audition in the day and have to work at a night job. Is that true? Do B-list and C-list have an extra job in case they haven’t gotten any roles? How can a person become an A-list actor? I ain’t an actor so yeah, forgive me LOL

Hi all! So many actors and actresses have changed their names throughout history, right? Well I assume it’s because they just felt as if their birth names didn’t have much star quality to them in how they sound. So I’m just curious to know if any of you here have had the same thought in mind, and have already or will e…

Hi, bit of a newer actor here. Recently, I've landed my first paid role: a part for my university's psych lab. I've always wanted to act beyond school productions and self-made youtube videos (mostly rants and old sketches), and I think this is a good first step. Maybe I'm not working with agents yet, but I'm getting m…

like Heath Ledger of The Joker, or Evan Peters of Kai Anderson in American Horror Story. They both really suffered after these shows, since they portray psycho characters. But why?
