  1. If you can act, then you get an agent, have your headshots taken and build your repertoire of work wherever you can find it. Summerstock is a great place to get work. Stage or film doesn't matter. It's that you're building your skills and honing a craft. Keep focused on that and become very aggressive in trying out for every last part that you can find. Answer all of the casting calls and get an agent to represent you.


  2. It's possible, but theatre school alone doesn't count for a lot unless you have camera skills and are right for the part.

  3. You should continue to fine acting opportunities in plays, student films and indie films.  You should continue to take acting classes.  You should be seeking an agent.

  4. You should be able to get a role in a student film, short or possibly an indie. It all depends on your actual talent though. Just because you're starting out and don't have any experience yet doesn't mean you're not talented, just as going to theatre school doesn't mean that you are.

    If you looking for roles in big hollywood films, than the answer is probably no, though you may be able to do some extra work on one. I wouldn't recommend going this route however. You want to fill your resume with lead and supporting roles and the best way to do this is with Student films, shorts and indies.

    Good luck!
