Is it true that 95% of acting careers are hook-ups?

Question

Because I wanted to start acting,

but i don't have hook-ups ;(

Answer 1

no.

Answer 2

It is a matter of being in the right place at the right time,  if you dont already know someone,  then yes,   it is a hook up ,  * smiles wickedly*   you  must realize that people get all sorts of jobs from those they know,  that is just how its done,    not just in acting, but in all businesses,  

good luck on your search,

Answer 3

I'm not sure how accurate the percentage is, but alot of people do make it on connections. but there are just as many people who dont have any connections and still make it. but the best way to get connections to make your acting career a little more busy is to go to film festivals in or around your area to network with people. you can also do local films.
