focuspuller If you think you’re a good actor then you’ve got yourself into a really tough place. Actors spend most of their time being rejected and, after rejection, Unemployment. Withnail and I was a hell of a Movie, but imagine actually being in that position. Acting for film is very different to stage acting, and seems to require different talent. I’m still puzzled about what makes a Film Star as opposed to a Good Actor. A Star is not necessarily a Good Actor, but sometimes is. To become a Film Star or any kind of Actor, you have to have totally one hundred percent conviction that this is what you are, and want to be. If you don’t have that, GET OUT NOW! It’s the lousiest life in the world if you don’t make it. And it’s sometimes pretty terrible if you do! Film stars somehow make sense of the phrase "Born to It". If you just like doing some acting, and being around actors, then you might want to think about being a Casting Director, and doing a bit of stand-up at the local pub.
