HeyI'm 13 and I know there is a LOT of teens out there that want to act is much as me, but all of us cant act, so i think whoever is really intrested in acting like me should be the ones to succed. If anyone can help us get satrted then PLEASE do. And im not sure if i have to pay to act ina film, but i hope not. I'm sure that most of us dont have a lot of money. If i did recive enough money i would by my family a new house!

Thanks Craig for sticking up for me.

You know, I'd forgotten this post even existed.

Half the reason I post on this site is because there is an obvious need to help those who don't have that much experience. I've been lucky enough to have some great experiences, and I think it would be unfair not to share the information that exists out there.

I DO NOT ACTIVELY PUT DOWN ANYONE'S DREAMS. If you knew me better, you would know that I spend about 80% of my time helping others obtain professional, paid work in our industry. There is no point trying to get a career in this industry if you are uninformed or naive; and I can (and will) provide that information to those who are willing to take it.

I may not know everything about the industry, but I do know this - there is a difference between dreaming things and making them come true. I have made a few of my dreams come true; I hope to pass on that knowledge to others.

I agree with Craig. This is a great forum, and for those who use it well, it can provide you with so many answers, you could very well be able to get your dream to come true. There will be many people who will offer advice - whether it is good or bad - but it is up to you whether you take it well, badly, or not at all.
