Question
Hey, my name is Lena and I really like acting i have been in two school plays and i really love. I was an angel in one , and then in the other I was the main character, and i was just wondering what grades you had to have to get into acting/acting school. Does it matter what your grades, are I really need to know , because i would love to progress in an acting career.

Answer
Hello Lena, The better grades and the more acting experience you have, the better your chances of getting into a good acting school. But to be an actor, you must be born with the rare gift of extra ordinary ability, understand how the business of acting works and approach it carefully as it is filled with scams and traps to steal your money.  You need not attend any school to be a film actor, but attending a class now and them helps prepare you for the work..IF you want to be a classical stage actor, often a BFA Acting degree or a conservatory graduation is considered mandatory. God bless, Doc
