That's what I want to know. I wanna act, but I seek TV Series or Movies, not Drama though. Could anyone help me giving directions of wich course I should take and in wich College or State so I can get what I want?
I'm a international student from Brazil and it's really though getting that kind of information through the Internet. It'd be a lot easier to get that kind of information through real people who have been through the same situation or work with this.
Thanks a lot for the attention.

Hey, first... I don't know how to give answers to answers to my question. How do I do that?
Second... Yeah, there are opportunities in Brazil but it's mostly for Drama. I want movies... xD
And you guys only chose BIG BIG names... I'm thinking of maybe starting at a Community College, than transfering... Or do you guys think that will suck?

NYU, Tisch, Yale, Harvard or anywhere in Los Angeles if it doesn't have to be attached to University... Checkout WorkingActors.com, click on actors, then on training and there are plenty of classes and workshops not attached to college curriculum.
There are also opportunities in Brazil, have you checked that out first?

Well, there are several reasons. First of all, there's the fact that unless you have a college degree of some sort, you'll never get a decent job in this country. That's just the way things are. You can't really expect that you're going to be able to support yourself by acting, because very very very very very few people manage to do that. Unless you really want to wait tables for a living for the rest of your life, you need a degree to fall back on, so you can get an actual job at some point. Also, if you want to be a "movie star", you're going to be competing against millions of other actors/actresses, many of which went to college and got an acting degree. In college you learn almost everything there is to know about acting, and if your competition has had this kind of experience and you haven't, that's a serious disadvantage. If you want any chance at getting a role, you need the proper traning, and college is a perfect opportunity to get that training. By the way, saying that all the good actors dropped out of high school is a blatant lie, and I have no idea where you're getting that information. Haha, wow. That last part made me sound like a total *****. Sorry.

As an actor you DO NOT determine where you will perform. You are NOT the Talent Agent or the Casting Director.
The Talent Agent determines where his/her clients are best suited, they are the industry professionals.
There are many top schools for theatre. It depends on which city in the USA you want to live. Make that decision first and then narrow it down to the school that may interest you. You may, at some point, want to come to the city of your choice and ask the University if you can observe some of the classes, to see if that's right for you. Be sure you enroll in a University and not a school that teaches film, as that is TOTALLY useless.

Try NYFA in New York City. It's the New York Film Accademy. It's really great but it's also REALLY expensive.
