I act for a living. Dream job some might say, and in some ways they'd be right. However the life of an actor is an uncertain one as you are predominantly not employed. Not to say you have no money as when you do book it pays you nicely. It's a job that you need to have a passion for. You need to love acting to be a true actor. Not sing in a grime group then present a talent show hoping it will help your acting career! Sorry went off on one! The point is fame doesn't give you acting talent and acting talent doesn't always give you fame. If your goal is fame I'd suggest x factor, britains got talent, big brother etc. they are fast track routes to fame acting is not.
People spend thousands of pounds and several years honing their skills in drama school so they can one day be employed as an actor. Do you think it's fair for a singer/model to get a lead in a feature film. No, I scream, no, no, no!! Please can people be auditioned and cast like the rest of us mere mortals and not handed roles thousands of unknown actors could do a better job of!
Hopefully directors will learn I mean have you seen transformers 3? Vicky secrets modelling doesn't equal actress material!
