How can a young actor start getting roles without much experience, or a full resume ?

I'm asking this question because I am an actor. I do short films, and featured films. I read a lot of book and try to gain more knowledge. Now I want to know how to get further in the craft and do more things that will lead to my success. #director #film-acting #actors #producer

Hi Justis!
The very best thing you can do as an actor trying to get more roles is to keep expanding your knowledge and keep taking roles! From a casting director and producer standpoint, I am looking for people who have worked on a variety of projects. However, more importantly, you want to be known for who you are! I will always hire back an actor who was kind and made a good impression on everyone! Don't get too caught up in your job that you aren't mindful! I wish you the best of luck!

Living in New York, you have a lot of access to classes, and small independent theatre auditions. Not only will you gain experience through these, but you will also meet several other people in the industry. As they say, sometimes it's all about who you know!

Thank you comment icon There is no substitute for slugging it out and building your resume one credit at a time. Better roles come as you get better. Be patient with yourself and go audition for as much as you can and go get experience. It doesn't come with out logging the hours. Good luck and keep swinging. Kiff VandenHeuvel
