Question
Hi, i'm a 25 year old guy and i live in the UK. I would like to know where would you say has the most oppurtunity for me in terms of auditions etc. London is closer to me but i'm not concerned about how far i'll have to move. Would you say that New York is best? Or Los Angeles? Or somewhere else? Thanks very much - JP
Hi JP, well, you need to know that you cannot work professionally as an actor in the USA unless you are a citizen, have a green card or are an imported star. Vancouver, Canada may be your solution, but I don't know their rules for immigrants. London is your best bet for now. Best wishes, Doc
