Question
Hi I sent you a question about modeling and being tattooed, but the only reason is because I thought you were a model expert, I really want to act. I have been acting for years, I have done theatre, was a part of a comeddy improve group, and all so I please take both my questions into consideration when you answer me. Thank you so much!

Answer
Hi Matthew, Acting and Modeling can go hand in hand, and many talent agencies will book you for both areas. I am more of an acting expert than a modeling one. Your experience credits look pretty good for acting, do you have any professional training. You need to have a good resume to get an acting agent. If you want to act, you need to do some acting now, and get into a class at a studio. I advise aspiring actors for free at kencosp@aol.com.  Write me there with your questions. Best wishes, Dco
