So I'v recently been to a lot of acting groups and auditions, I'v got parts in stuff such as Waterloo Road and Nickelodeon shows. But I haven't got into anything big up until now. While doing an audition, my Talent Agent called and she said she found a lead role for me in this American movie coming in 2013, so here is whats happening. She talked to the directors about it and they said its almost certain that if I took the audition I would get the role, but the thing thats bugging me is, I don't really know if I'm ready. I mean I'v talked to my friends about it and they said "GO FOR IT!!!" but they don't understand that this kind of thing takes up your life, I mean its not going to be easy, it could effect my grades in school and I really don't know if I want to go this far with
acting.
What do you guys think?

This is the wrong community to ask life questions. Try SMWC.

But on topic, I must suggest going for it. If you keep yourself out of the bad stuff, it can be a wonderful experience.

It's a great opportunity, just remember that child actors get it tough and 64% (RANDOM STATISTIC PULLED OUT OF MY ASS) of child stars have their life ruined.

But go for it, bro. Just be careful and don't lose a sense of direction.

Edit: And what's the movie called?

chrisd · April 13, 2011, 02:21:09 PM

1. I'm not a kid
2. I don't know the movie's name Sam (the director) is going to give me details next week if I go for it

There's no real way to know for sure or not.

At least until he mentions BL on television.

Ontopic:
