Question
I am a real fan of disney channel.I love Hannah Montana.I want to go act with her,LOL.How can I do that.Im in brooklyn,new york do you no anywhere i can act over here.i REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT TO ACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer
Ivein, I am sorry to inform you that neither you nor the hundreds of thousands like you all over the world are going to be able to act with Hannah Montana.  It takes years of hard work, study and training to become an actor and if it turned out that you were really good enough and charming and interesting enough to be on Hannah Montana by the time you got that way, the show will no longer be running.  On top of that when you become an actor you do not get to choose what films and programs you get to be on, but until you are a major star, you have to take whatever is offerred you.  Also you would need your parents' support for your becoming an actor until you are 18 and old enough to sign contracts.  Best Wishes, Doc
