Is it safe to assume I won't have any chance at an acting career? I don't know if it's worth pursuing at all or how.

I was always an animated kid in front of a camera but never really considered any sort of acting or theater because I had a very old fashioned immigrant family and that was just not a thing. I was always jealous of other kids doing it though. Senior year of...

I'd it normal for close friends not to come see you perform?

Not sure if this is the right sort of thing to discuss here, if not I am sorry. Here's my personal issue: I've never asked friends or even family to see any of my performances before (because of confidence and I didn't want to put them out). But now I have a...
