Acting is definitely the greatest job on the planet. Becoming an actor is the dream of so many little girls and boys. I rememeber that I first wanted to become an actor when I was just 5 years old. I had just seen Mission Impossible, and I totally wanted to be Tom Cruise holding onto the top of a speeding bullet train in the Czech Republic. That scene was so awesome, and it inspired me to go into acting
I thought that becoming an actor would be easy. Boy, was I ever wrong! There are so many casting calls, auditions, and other things out there to help start your acting career. However, I was living in New York city at that time. There are a lot of casting calls in New York (possibly more casting calls in New York than casting calls in Los Angeles), but everyone was super competitive.
Getting noticed by a casting director is really hard. There are a ton of really good looking people who think that they can make it on looks alone. If the director is really superficial, they may be able to accomplish this. But if the director is not a total tool, and values talent over beauty, you may have a shot to be the next Tom Cruise (although I’m not sure if being better looking than Tom Cruise is possible, but at least you will have his acting skills, and may make it to the top of the Hollywood totem pole.
I made it to the top of the Hollywood totem poll. You know what my secret was? Hard work. However, I did have a secret weapon. His name is John Thomas, and he has a secret list of casting calls, that only the elitest of the elite in hollywood know about. John Thomas’ casting calls is so good, that most of today’s hollywood stars made it where they are today because of John Thomas’ casting calls list.
