But I'll try to give you a very brief rundown of some of the do's, don't's and things to expect. New York works differently from Hollywood, which works differently from London, which works differently from wherever you live now. A hefty bankroll. Don't forget that LA is one of the most expensive cities in America in which to live. And, oh yes, agents represent actors.
Actors are people who can be at an audition or a job whenever a casting director calls.
So if you have a day job, be prepared to drop it in an instant for an audition or an acting gig if an agent is representing you. You will also need a dependable car. Lots of Hollywood films and television shows are made in Vancouver. I like Vancouver better than Los Angeles, but the rules are pretty much the same for either city, and neither of them are cheap places to live. So pick one and move there if you really want to be in television or movies.
