A Step-by-step Guide To Becoming A Hollywood Actor
Do you want to become an actor and have no idea where to start?
Today's episode is a step-by-step guide to getting into the film industry. If you dream of being part of massive Hollywood productions or sharing the set with your favorite actors, this guide is all you need to get yourself in the game. When I got to Hollywood with $200 bucks in my pocket and a one-way ticket in the 80s, creating footage with a cellphone or finding agents online wasn't possible. It took more work for unknown actors to get in front of casting directors. In the digital era, that changed; everyone walks around with a movie studio in their back pocket. Still, one thing hasn't changed: if you want to become an actor, you must be relentless, accumulate as many nos as you can, and take massive action.
