Yeah. Sometime you jus.... Don't we all? I need to know all about you, your background and experience in acting. Then I can give you some advice. I studied with Fredrick O'Neal. the late African-American President of Actor's Equity. I mentor aspiring actors for free at kencosp@aol.com Write soon, I can help.

Take as many acting classes as you can afford. This not only gives you more skills but you meet other wannabe actors who you can network with. Then maybe one day one of your friends will call you up and say, "I'm working on an indy shot and there's a part that would be just right for you." And it only takes one role to get you started.
If you can write funny material, stand-up may be a way to get yourself noticed. Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams got their start that way.
If you can write plays or movie scripts, you can create your own vehicles like Tyler Perry. He has been writing plays since he was 18. As of March 2005, his eight plays have grossed over US$75 million in tickets and DVD sales

i know of a really good theater company in milwaukee. it mainly puts on plays for children, but the adults get paid. it is a professional theater company and it performs in the same building as the Milwaukee symphony (MSO) and some other great performing arts companies. the name of the theater company is first stage, and they do at least one african-american appreciation play per year. the plays are almost every day three times per day for about two months. if you are willing to make a committment to acting, first find a good theater company and realize how hard life will be. you'll live off of ramen noodles for a while and probably will have only a bycicle, but if it means doing what you want... it is definitely worth it.

"Sometimes I jus" what?
Making it in acting requires the same diligence, hard work, luck, and patience required to make it in any other occupation.
If you stick with it long enough, you will eventually "make it" in acting, you just got to pay your dues!
