Acting Profile

I embarrassed myself today. I was waiting in the queue at my local bank and I over heard a conversation with a lady who worked there and a gentleman. The gentleman had a white t shirt with a new television show printed on it. I cannot remember the name of it, it was something to do with cruise ships. I can’t remember, but I as I waited in the queue and overheard their conversation I looked over at the man with a smile on my face. When he looked directly at me I thought here is my chance. If you don’t ask and be a bit pushy you don’t get. So whilst the man was explaining to the lady about people coming up to him and asking to be on the show. I took the plunge and asked if he had any parts. He looked at the lady and laughing he said, “See that’s what I mean. I keep getting asked” Well… I took that as a no and was a bit hurt to say the least. I explained to him that I was studying acting at college, but he wasn’t interested. I felt humiliated and rejected, but you know? At least I tried.

Like I said yesterday you have to work towards your dream and take the opportunities that come your way. So this man didn’t want me for his show. He walked over to me and in a quiet voice told me he was the shows producer. There was every opportunity that he could have used me for the show, but he wasn’t interested. Maybe the show wasn’t for me. I’m more of a character actress that works best when I am in strong character parts. However right at this moment I would consider almost anything. Obviously I wouldn’t do some things and whilst I do understand the people who want to do porn that is something that I would never do.

I still hope and work towards my dream of becoming an actress. Even if I get rejected a few more hundred times I will still work towards becoming an actress. Even if it means accepting roles in community theatres I will still be happy working as an actress. Because at the end of the day that’s what I believe I was born to do. After all the stuff that I have experienced in my life I still believe that I was born to be an actress and one day hopefully I will get my break.
