Serious question about the big times.?

Question

I would like to be an actor, as a full time occupation.

Im 15 years old. I know it is very tough to get into the major bussiness. But ive loved acting ever since i was about 5. Me and my friends would get an old camera assign small parts and think of all sorts of crazy characters and just act away.

The only problem is that I am Persian/Iranian , well its really a problem, but I doubt people would like to see a middle eatern in a serious hollywood motion picture.

Like how many people do u think would go and watch Batman if he wasnt white?

I see alot of actors now, but very few middle-easterns, thouugh you can tell they have increased.

Do you think it would be possible to make it big if i had the talent, deication, and luck?

Answer 1

There's alot of agencies that reallyyyyy try to get a variety of races in their agencies. I know that there was an agency that told me they would have taken me if they didn't have a girl that "looked like me" in their agency already. [The other girl is simply a white girl with brown hair]. Agencies can't have so many of "one type" so they need a bunch of different races.

Times are changing. I'd watch movies with middle easterners. Don't worryyyyyy - you can make it.

This country is becoming more and more diverse, and audience tastes reflect it.  They are going to need all kinds of people.  Perservance is the key in this business.  You have to want it more than anything.  Just keep working at it and eventually everyone else will either be married or dead.
