Can i be an actor? i don’t think so, what do you think?
Question by Mickaël: Can i be an actor? i don’t think so, what do you think?
Hi everybody
My name is mickael, i’m french (i don’t live in USA for now, i live in Mexico) and i’m 28.
I’m passionate by cinema.
I write some movie script and i dream to become a director (and obviously to sell one day my scripts) but i’m also very interested in being actor.
The problem is that i don’t think it’s very compatible with who i am and i would like to have some opinions (don’t hesitate to be rough if it’s necessary, i prefer the truth)
Here’s what i am:
*shy (i used to be very shy, now i’m just shy with people i don’t know (in shop, at the bank etc.) and discrete…And some of red cheeks when i’m getting shy (i guess it’s ugly). And honestly, i think i would be very stressed (maybe petrified? hehe) for auditions and then on stage if i have a chance to have a role
*i have quite about opinion about myself, physically talking. For me i’m ugly. And well, what i see on photos or little movies is pathetic (still phisically talking) i’m aboslutely not photogenic and “moviegenic” (don’t know if this word exists), i think my smile and my body generally is ugly… but at the same time i’m not “enough ugly” to be considered as a “face” (you know, the persons hired because they have a special face (in the sense they are really really not very pretty) you know what i mean? Well i’m physically ugly/average “lambda” but really not photogenic and moviegenic etc. (ouch)
*i am afraid to be very stressed by scenes, no matter with who i could play. And very affraid to disapoint the director, the staff and maybe the actos/tress and also afraid of kissing or “more” scenes (not really confortable with that, well at least the last one)
* There is millions of people who want to be actor/tress and i don’t feel better than the other
*i probably have an accent due to the fact that i’m french (but not the wierd accent the pretented french people take in movies/TV shows to make people understand they are french. But well i can work on my accent obviously and my english in general.
*about my physical i’m 6.4.4″ (1m94) for 90kilos and have a mix of sliim/normal/athletic body (it depends on what i ate at lunch hehe, that’s a joke), i have dark blonde hairs, very short (and lost some so i have the hair kind of like jason statham but a little more actually (it’s hard to explain) and i have blue eyes.
*last important things, to achieve everything: i never took classes of acting.
I can imagine the answer, but i like different point of view, because maybe people like me succeeded in becoming actors, who knows.
Thank you very much
Good day.
p.s: i’m not interested in becoming famous, i’m just interested in doing american movies coz cinema is my passion
p.s²: very sorry for my english!

Stop doubting yourself and being so negative. Have confidence and believe in yourself because NO ONE is EVER going to believe in you if you don’t believe in yourself and that is the god damn truth. You want to be an actor then go ahead and do it!
