I don't know what it is. But i sometimes feel like I am in a movie. Even though I am not and I am living my life, sometimes I feel that I am an actor acting every scene. Almost like I am meant to be one. I know that I am not a movie star but for some reason I feel like one. Maybe God is letting me know to become one. You know to take lessons or something. Well to me, everyone has a role to play. Everyone is an actor somehow. You ever lie and try not to smile. Your involved in acting. Actually every thing done like doing the laundry or washing the dishes is a form of acting because we all do things in our special way, we all look different and we all have different personalities. Although we are not actually on a stage and playing a role we are actors everyday in one way or another.

So I guess that for you to be an actor you have to know yourself well. Are you a talented singer or happen to work in the entertainment industry. Are you good looking and resemble Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise, because if you do your chances increase. Don't get me wrong, you don't have to aquire all these traits but you have to be really gifted to become an actor. Maybe if you get into commercial advertisements you stand a chance. I know that acting is not an easy job. I mean, look at what happened to Heath Ledger, people said that he was so caught up in his role as one of the villains in the movie that he totaly stressed himself out and overdosed on medication. What a dissappointment, the guy was talented. Well I guess that the sort of acting the person is invovled into makes the difference also. So if your up to the job and think your talented why not give it a try.

I truly believe that if someone wanted to be an actor, they could do it if they really put their mind to it. But then comes the fame and the money and the paparazzi who want to make some cash as well. You just can't escape that. It's just part of the, "walking down the red carpet" life that a normall actor/actress goes through. I mean being a star is great you know, but it has it's downsides. That does not take away your ambition to do it though. You know, always being in the spotlight is a big load and it can take an effect on you. I guess you have to keep your head on your shoulder and be strong, positive, smile, look fashionable and posses one great personality. If you have some or all the descriptions listed then go for it and organize an audition with perhaps a movie executive. You may be very lucky and if not then theres writing, music, photograghy, college and just about everything else. Hey, America is filled with opportunity, just for you to decide.
