Ah, I'd hate to be a movie actor. It's impossible to break into the business, and they only cast based on looks anyway... and if they do pick you, girls' roles in film are usually really boring.
Besides, that's really a full time job. I want to be a writer professionally, and act on the side as a hobby. I prefer theatre to writing, but I think it'd be easier for me to succeed as a writer. The type of acting that really appeals to me is stage acting. And I went to my first professional acting audition last weekend, and it was really stressful and competitive. I was lucky to make it to the second round of callbacks... they had a crowd of 130 girls trying out for 4-6 slots. EEK! Definitely NOT something I'm pursuing as a career.
