Hi,

Just because you don't have any support or a you don't come from a Filmy background doesn't mean you can't be an actor. If you act well, surely you can be an Actor. For starters, you can get yourself into a Film School and learn all there is to learn about Acting. This will be a big launchpad for your career.

Regards,
Digital Academy - The Film School
