Question
Im a 24 yr old guy living right outside New York City. I have always had a passion for being an actor. Primarily acting for film. I dont have any previous experience, but feel that I have natural talent. Im not sure where I should start, and what I should do. It seems that everyone wants to see a resume. Im very frustrated. Thanks in advance
Hey Richie. Who's everyone who wants to see a resume? Obviously it is important to build a good resume. You do that by being in amateur stage plays and taking professional classes, How do you propose to finance your quest to become a film actor? So write me at kencosp@aol.com and we will get your resume going. Doc
