    How Are Actors Getting Breakdowns?

    Yes, actors in L.A. aren't supposed to get direct copies of the Breakdowns, only agents, but actors ARE getting them. HOW? WHERE? Seems this would eliminate the role of agents as "gatekeepers" and put the actor more in control of their own career.

    Tom Todoroff Conservatory in NYC?

    Self conscious about acting abilities

    When I was younger in high school, I was so sure that I could make it as an actor. But, now that I’ve graduated, and haven’t made it into acting school, I feel like I don’t actually have the raw talent to make it in the business. I don’t have a backup because...
