Question

i ran outa words lol :)

is it just wishful thinking to want to be in a drama or a romantic comedy (like in america) i live in the uk (i am defo doin musical theatre and dance ext..) but i was just wondering how possible it is and how you would go about it

Answer 1

Are you asking if you can do both theatre and musical theatre work and do film acting? Yes, it is very possible. Getting any acting job in the US is tough, so many actors make sure they're ready for any type of acting job that comes up.

Just a few who have done both Theatre and Film/TV -

Kristen Chenoweth

Hugh Jackman

Mandy Patinkin

Christopher Walken

Angela Landsbury

Nicole Kidman

Nathan Lane

Matthew Broderick

Steven Weber

Tony Danza

Roger Bart

Lou Diamond Phillips

Katie Holmes

Rosie Perez

Study what you want to do.

Come to the US and take classes here too.

Wait tables or some other job until you're ready to audition.

Your instructors will let you know when you are ready and will give you advice on how to get an agent, etc. Often agents and casting directors will sit in on acting classes.

Good luck!
