I think no matter what you pursue, hopefully your dream, you have a very long journey ahead of you... good luck!

As a first step.. I would find out what some of your favorite actors and actresses did to get to where they are now. Perhaps some went to college and took classes in theatre... do some research and find out what you need to do to head in the right direction towards your goal... your Dream.
I'm sick and tired of all this negative racist talk about Raisonettes. You start out life hoping your going to be an expensive fine wine and then you end up getting your life blood sucked out of you and living next to the jujubees......Raisonettes are people to.
he right too many people try become a big movie star

and end up in hollywood on the streets!

its not as glamois as it looks either -you work at

least 10 to 15 day and thats not if you have to get

into costume or makeup
I'm not sure if your Dad deflated your ego but, you should see the red flag that he's waving. There is more than one reason he would wave one. The distance, finances, living options, and most of all , the worrying. And he WILL worry.
I know this kid from my school who went to Hollywood and slept on the streets until he could get a job, now he was in the movie Yours Mine and Ours, his name was Sean Faris I believe. So, it comes down to it doesnt matter who doesnt believe in you, it matters if you believe in yourself. I you belive you can do it, you will, but you have to be strong, smart, and sacrifice a lot. Now personally, i suggest you at least have a back up plan, but thats just me. Plus, the most succesful people on earth are also the biggest risk takers, however this does not always make you successful. Good luck. Take some time out for yourself and take a breather, i suggest meditating, clear your head of all the negative comments and all the bad feelings and doubts you have, focus on the good ones and envision yourself successful. By doing this you will get good thoughts, motivational thoughts etched into your subconcious, which will help you take failure better and move on faster, you will fail alot before making it in this industry!
He's just trying to make you realize the real world and maybe he might be saying to have something to fall back on in case your rise to fame doesn't come too soon.

Get involved with the right people and perservere, bust your butt for years until you find your break. Don't forget that there are others things out there for you too that you might find on your journey.

Anyway, don't believe what everyone says and don't let anyone say you can't do something. Prove them wrong. Remember that what he said to you is the least of what you may hear from agents and other critics. They will not care. Your father does care, it just doesn't look like it to you. So, what I'm saying is, treat this as a stepping stone on your way to find what you believe that you can accomplish.

Hey, I live in the same city that Sean Faris used to go to high school. LOL small world.
I am all about chasing your dreams but you have to be realistic. Have a back-up plan because most people that chase the dream of making it big end up waiting tables. It breaks my heart every time I see a balding waiter in Hollywood.
Sounds more like a dream than a plan. Maybe your dad was saying that to energize you into making an actual plan and getting started on it. He sounds a little mean to me.

As the saying goes: "Plan your work, then work your plan." If that is what you want to do, then get a move on. Good luck to you!
Hum. Looks to me you will fit in nicely here At LA Travel. This is the best laugh I have had for awhile.
If ur are over 18, try Central Casting in Burbank, if u do live near encino, its not a far drive, Central does Background Actors, I have been in 2 movies, 1 TV show, 2 Commercials,Long days but u get fed.
If you want to be an actor then be an actor. If you want money then frankly I don't think you have what it takes. The people actors who become rich are passionate about their work and have taken years of classes in order to improve. If it is what you truly want to do, and not for the money, then go to an acting school and start out in stage plays. This will lead to more roles in plays and eventually you will land a spot in a movie.
I'm afraid your dad was right...... good luck with those pop corns!
he's right for the most part. you need to take a logical approach to the movie business. What if you fail? What if you don't get your break? You need something to fall back on, something to make a living with. I'm going to be an accountant. After i get my degree and save up some money working, i can try out for whatever i want. all doors are open to me, and if i fall, i have a nice degree to cushion the landing. You need to play it smart, don't do the whole, "i'll go wherever the wind takes me". Lifes too short to make it harder for yourself.
do you know alot of people did this ad made it you never know i would try and get your dream started wait tables get a job close to the places you need to be hey you maybe surprized and be found tyr it go take care and good luck
I think that could deflate your ego if you let it. I think it's kind of messed up for your dad not to support you. If you think that this is what you want to do, don't let anyone stand in your way and even if you fail at least you won't have a what if the rest of your life!
West of Encino

Yes, West of Encino, of course, your ego has been deflated, but don't just blow off what your dad says.

Do give it some thought! Spend some time thinking it over. I know right now you will have more time than money, so write down some of the pros and cons of your plans.

Let me tell you there will be lots and lots of hard work over there in Hollywood before you will make lots and lots of money.

You may be lucky enough to land that job selling pop corn and raisinettes while you are working toward stardom.

Now if you have the determination and it is in your blood to become a big star, don't let anyone try to stop you.

But if you do try and don't succeed, that is an accomplishment in itself. An experience in life that most of us will never have.

Good luck to you!
