No. Others have done it.
Gene Hackman was 30 when he began his studies at the Pasadena Playhouse to pursue a career in acting. He primarily worked as a TV and stage actor until his small role in "Lilith" in 1964. He was 34.
Dennis Farina, a former police detective, was working as a police film consultant. This led to his first small role in the movie "Thief" in 1981. He was 37.

You are never to old to follow your dreams. The only regrets that you will ever have in life are the ones where you wonder what if. So Go For It. There are many actors and actresses your age. Believe it or not all the good ones are over the age of 30 to begin with. While it may be harder for you to start out at that age if you have determination and believe in your dream you can accomplish it. Good luck to you. Remember me when you are famous and send me an autograph.

Well, I wouldn't soley fix your entire life around TV acting. If it's something you're passionate about, go for it. But don't quit your day job.
Stage theatre might be a broader horizon, if that's any help.

nope! my math teacher in high school was about forty, and he actually quit his job a couple years back and went to CA to act full time.
if you have the talent, you can do it. just start slow, do some acting classes, go to auditions. you might not make it big, but sometimes local theater and such is a lot more fun!

No, character actors of all ages are needed but expect tough going, don't take rejection personally. Good luck.

Yes, go develop an interest in gardening, watching sports or anything else more suitable to your high age...

What is 'overage'? Are you trying to ask if you're too old or average?
