It's all about the look or talent?!
Tue, 1 Sept 2009, 06:31 pmI have just recently gotten back into acting after working in media in Sydney. I am finding it a little frustrating to find suitable plays and short films I can audition for in Perth.
I am Australian born with Indian, European and Indigenous heritage.
