How do I succeed at this?

Who do I need to impress?

When I am successful, will my female co-stars throw themselves at me (pic related)?

why are actors such faggots
why does the word "actor" trigger in my mind some histrionic freak butchering shakespeare's beautiful words
nobody likes actors, esp. not filmmakers

Take acting classes, go to auditions, act in plays, really just do it as much as you possibly can

If you're lucky, attractive, and talented (along with working your ass off all the time), then you might get noticed eventually, but that could still take anywhere from 2 or 3 years to 20 or 30

Wouldn't being very empathetic be way more effective for being an actor than being a sociopath because you could actually relate to the character you're trying to play and act as if you were that person?

To be honest I'd prefer to be one of those terrible actors who keeps getting hired and paid lots of money (Megan Fox, Adam Sandler, Jai Courtney kind of thing).

How to I achieve that?

>How do I succeed at this?

Head shots, make of demo reel of you "acting" and hire an agent.

>Who do I need to impress?
In this order agents, directors, producers,

>When I am successful, will my female co-stars throw themselves at me (pic related)?

I'm going to guess since you are on /tv/ you are ugly as sin so no.

This mostly.
It's important to know that a successful actor is someone who can make a living full time while enjoying what they do. Most actors out there are not famous.

You don't have to be totally hot, there plenty of roles out there for weird looking people, few of them are leading roles but it's work.

Don't expect to get noticed. There are loads of talented people out there that will never make it big.

>>85258229

Megan Fox is hot, Adam Sandler just coasts on his earlier successes when he actually made some good stuff and now just makes movies that he knows people will see and laugh at because they're dumb humor because he has his own production company and can afford to make the movies and then profit off them, and Jai Courtney is like a discount Chris Pratt

just pretend to be a jew. whenever they ask you just say you're ashkenazi jewish mainly on your mother's side. a jewish last name like silverman, weiss, schwartz or goldstein will help too, so always give that name

>How do I succeed at this?
Acting classes. Know the right people. It's about 80% luck though.
>Who do I need to impress?
People that can help you get important roles. And it isn't about impressing them, it's about befriending them. Have good decision making skills and don't be a dick to anyone.
>When I am successful, will my female co-stars throw themselves at me (pic related)?
If you're attractive, yes. If you look like Steve Buscemi or Ron Perlman, then no.
>>

an actor is like a social prostitute

I liked those kind of eyes even before I knew how they were meme labeled. So, your point is irrelevant here.
