Got a role in a short now I found it's a trailer. I feel cheated.

As honestly as possible, to what extent is Hollywood acting something a large portion of people can do passably, and to what extent do you really need a certain special ability to have high odds of getting somewhere.

I know this is a question sure to ignite feelings before I ask it. As a classical musician, of course I think that the thing I do is like one of the hardest, most grueling things you can do, that's self-interest, and being truly objective and unbiased is a...

I always dreamed of being an actor in a show, but now that I have the part I'm not sure if I'm being harassed?

So, I'm going to be a little light on details because otherwise it would be incredibly easy to find me, but I got the part as a minor role (speaking wise, stage time is pretty good) in a musical. I was, and am super pumped as this is literally a life long...

Is it generally appropriate to greet a casting director by name (one you've never met before)?

I'm a newbie and I read some advice in a book by a casting director. They said they appreciated it when an actor greeted them by name at an audition. They also said they were impressed when an actor commented on something they had cast previously as it showed...
