My younger sister and I both tried out for the same part in a big movie coming out in 2008 and my sister got the part. Because of this my mom flushed my acting career and switched the agent we used to share to just my sister, which means I won't get to audition for any more parts. And I really want to act. WHAT CAN I DO????!!!!

obviously if both of u try for the same part only one will get it. so try for some other part and evade competetion at home.

Poor you, I really feel for you as this must be awful. If you were not picked for the film it does not mean you are a bad actress, it just means your are not suitable for this part, there may be others you can do! It is horrid to see your sister get what you really want out of life, if you cannot have it. Firstly, your Mum is being unfair. Can you find a quiet moment to tell her how heart-broken you are, and explain what I have said in the first sentence? I would wait a while for everything to die down though. If she does not take you seriously, can you get a teacher to explain it to her? If not, I am afraid you may have to accept the situation. It will be painful to watch your sister do well, but you will have more time to work hard on your studies and grow into a nice person. And do as much drama as you can at school or in a club. Then, when you are eighteen you can apply for drama college and you will have control of your own destiny. Sometimes, being first is not best. It may be difficult to see that now, as you are probably feeling quite devastated, but it is true and you may be able to see it as you look back in afew years time. You may get more from not starting young as your sister is, and you will bring more experience to your acting. I hope you get what you want out of life.

You can go out and find your own parts, if you are too young then you need to be supportive of your sister, do not lose your good relationship over this, keep in good with everyone and just sit back for a while, you will get noticed, make sure that all your sisters stuff is there and be her right hand, maybe she will help you, your career is not over, you will act, "if you build it they will come" you have to keep wanting it!!! Don't lose faith. I am sorry your mother forgot about you, sometimes people can be that way, if you are over 18 then do it with out her, sign up with an agency and tryout and do all the things that you need to, watch Coyote Ugly again!

If I were you I would be happy for my sister that's a big oppurtunity and I know that's its hard to see something that you want really badly and having someone else take it...but show good character allow her some time in the limelight. I know that you would want her to be happy for you if you had received that part instead of her....as for your mom she shouldnt be doing that at all changing your agent and everything only makes you feel like a failure and doesnt help you at all .... I would get my own agent that you are in charge of....heck marykate and ashley did and look at them now...their parents didnt have anything to do with what they did with their agent they were in charge....just show that you are a good person and be happy for your sister...i know the jealousy is there because of the way your mom is treating you but show them that you are better than that ok good luck

First of all you should be happy for your sister even though you might be a little jealous and mad. But you should also talk to your mom and tell her that you want to act and that you should also have an agent. Not every big actress got the main part or breakthrough on their first movie. Just talk to your mom about it and tell her how you feel?

Wow that really s*cks... does your mum know how much it bothers you? of course you are all happy for your sister but your mum should not deny you of a chance to act. Talk to her and tell her how much it means to you. Maybe one day they need 2 sisters in a play! If your mum does not listen, don't stop acting. Join a club, act at school, maybe even (if you are old enough) take an agent yourself. Who knows what may happen: your sister may end up being a one movie kid star, while you end up being a famous Oscar winning actress. anyway good luck to the both of you and hang in there!

Well, let me ask you a question. How much do you and your sister look alike? I once saw this movie two 6ft black men pretended to be 5ft something white girls and it was totally believable. You just got to figure out what to do with your sister in the mean time.
Your only other option is to prove how good of an actor you can be by supporting your sister, supporting yourself, finding a new agent, finding your own auditions, and hoping for success for your sister hold on tight & rider them coat-tails.
-good luck!

There have been many "actor families" , where siblings are all working. Your turn will come. Does Mom know how you feel? Talk to Mom, tell her that you still want to audition for parts, that you don't want to let the fact that you didn't get the job discourage you. Try not to be jealous of your sister, she didn't do anything wrong.

i know this will be hard to do but you need to be happy for her because when your time comes for a role no matter how big or small it is, your sister will be able to show you the ropes and what to look for. As a parent i find it hard to believe that she scrubbed your acting career. despite the fact that you are sisters it does not mean that this agent is suitable for all of your entertainment needs. Be happy it will work out in time. Good luck in your career. everybody is fortunate

Does your mom know how much being an actor means to you? She may reinstate you with the agent if she knows how much you want it. Be happy for your sister - I'm sure she'd be happy for you if the tables were reversed. If acting is "in your blood", and you can't afford your own agent, try out for your local drama club. Agents will go to the productions to "scout" local talent - you may get noticed!

That stinks! You could help your sister out! (Helping her study, practice w/e) And who knows, maybe she could get you a part as an extra! And remember just trying out in an audition is an experience that can help you in the long run! Don't give up! Show people what your made of!
