Do you think a teenager with abosolutely no serious acting experience would be able to star in any movie?

Question

I've always wanted to do theater but the farthest I've ever tried was a school play. But I always get a feeling that there's something different about me that I can project myself and that acting would become natural to me and if I just went out for an audition in a few months, I'd be somewhat successful.

Answer 1

Do you think that any teenager with no experience perform open-heart surgery??

Answer 2

Here's an answer from an adult with experience. You absolutely can not. Acting is a lot harder than it looks. Part of the job is to make it look easy. Believe me, you are incapable of doing it at the professional level. Not to say you can't learn it eventually but you can't just do it. And how do you expect to get auditions? You can't just walk in. You have to be called in by the casting director. You get called in by being submitted by a SAG franchised agent. Agents only give contracts to people who have been trained. Would you go to a movie starring someone you'd never heard of? Neither would anyone else. Do you think a studio would risk 40 million or so on an unknown? If you want anything in life you have to earn it. An acting career is THE hardest thing in the world to obtain. If you want one you'll have to work long and hard, have a lot of natural ability which you are just assuming you have without ever having acted ONCE, have a lot of charisma and be very, very lucky. Click on my avatar and read my question about this. You are greatly overestimating yourself. You are greatly underestimating what actors do. You should forget it.

Answer 3

Think about the actors and actresses now. Most of them have never had any acting experience before. Look at Cameron Diaz, she was a model, but one day she tried out for the movie "the mask" and got one of the lead roles with no acting experience what so ever! Now look at her, as famous as she can be! Just go for it!

Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Sure you can.There are a lot of actors that are very famous and they start with no experience and for an example is Taylor Lautner.He was world champion 3 times in karate.But when he decide to act.he have no experience in acting .He travel to auditions a couple of times and then he was in the Jessica Simpson show,summerland etc, then he got the big role in sharkboy and lavagirl.

So go for your dreams:)

Answer 5

Absolutely not. Big R has it nailed above. What makes you think they would pick a nobody with no experience when they have their choice of the best looking, most talented actors available? Like all those seeking to get on the Disney channel there is no hope.

Anything is entirely possible. The girl who starred in Hairspray had no experience right? Whereas there were Disney Channel people on it. It will be difficult, but I never say never.
