my friend, do not worry for anything,
hard work is the mother of good luck ,
do not leave your hard work, and searching for opportunities at any time. time will take care, now you are seeing big actors and great starts once were same like you.
the important one is do not hesitate to take even cameo role or advt roles.... because in any moment your skill may fall in the greate or upcoming talented director's eyes..
and be self confident and control your passions........
all the best

Hey, I'm an actor and I worked for a casting director in Alberta last summer. There is definitely more of a demand for white actors in film and television. For a number of reasons, it's sad but true. Being chinese in North America you are considered a minority and will be put into mostly minority roles when you begin, depending on your 'look'. But to tell you the truth, anything is possible. Depending on your look and talent, you could be the next big Lucy Leu. But luck plays a huge role. It also depends on how you define success. Do you mean a Hollywood $20 Million dollar a picture star? Or just someone who can pay the bills with acting? If you live in BC and can get to Vancouver, take some classes, get a headshot and audition for anything and everything just to get the experience, do theatre and student films if you can. Send your headshot and resume to agents and casting directors. I had two auditions for television shows last year WITHOUT an agent just by sending my headshot and resume to casting directors. Do some commercials, get a couple MOW's (Movie Of the Week), and then head to Hollywood if you can get a green card. This all could take you 1 year depending on luck, to 5 to 10 years. Welcome to the Biz... I don't know what it's like in China, but If you have a good look suitable for a Chinese audience then maybe give it a try. Don't let society tell you what you can't do. You definitely have an uphill battle, and the odds are more against you being chinese, but if it is what you love doing then nothing should stop you from doing it. But do not attempt this career, I am telling you, if you want to do anything else. You will see in your first year as a struggling actor. Christian Bale's house was almost foreclosed 5 years ago, so your definition of struggling is also open for interpretation.

first of all get a part time job like in a call centre etc. or complete your studies and get a degree at least. Get your portfolio clicked by some photographer and contact model co-ordinators with your pictures also drop in your pictures at various production houses and tv channel offices and if you want to be successful do not give up. take up work as it comes ur way don't just dream of bollywood tv is also an excellent medium. Also be ready to drop all your inhibitions and be ready to take criticism positively next all depends on your luck all the best

struggling is part of everyone's life. Have confidence on your talents and try till you get a chance ,and never quit. fight with your confidence that i can acheive and you will succeed.Mean while for bread you can always work partime jobs like modelling.and evening time work. Amitabbachan and rajnikanth are good example for success storys.
