Question
I've always been interested in acting but never had the courage to try, now I am 45 years old and thinking about giving it a shot. Should I even bother and if I do, how should I approach it?
HI Angelo, Many famous actors did not start until they were 50 years old! I will need to know what acting background you have and what large city you are in or near. Write with this information to kencosp@aol.com where I advise aspiring actors. God bless, Doc
