Question
Hi there well i was just reading those answers and i was wondering since i'm 17 years old should i be looking for an agent right now or should i wait till my acting career gets going? and the last paragraph says "get good grades", what if you have about a 65-70 average does that mean you will have a lower chance of making it as an actor? and what classes should be the best? thank you for taking the time to answer this and i will be looking forward to your answer.

Answer
Hi there, which answers are you talking about? Unless you have a terrific  resume and parents that will help you get started, I think you should wait until you graduate to try to become an actor. The high school classes that are best for a budding actor are English, Speech and Literature as well as theatre and drama. I encourage you to read my blog at http://theatredoconacting.blogspot.com Read it all the way back to last August. God bless, Doc
