(Hope ya come on soon!)

Hello! I heard that you were from Ohio and, as a fellow Ohioan, I always find that awesome! I'm more toward NW Ohio/Toledo area, though. Anyways, anyone able to get out there and be successful is truly inspiring. I was wondering, myself being an aspiring actress, how you became a professional actress? I've been taking several classes at college for acting, and there's a school in LA I'm looking into, but I'm rather anxious to fly out there and start working (although I know it's not that easy).
Well, that's pretty much it. You're doing a remarkably terrific job on the show and I wish you continued success!!! :)

Hi Starlet,
I don't know what to give in the way of concrete advice. Only to make sure it's what you really love because, yes, sometimes it can be very hard when you're starting out. "Making it" involves mathmatical probabilities akin to winning the lottery. And you have to be ok with instability...Growing up, I did as much theater as I could. I couldn't imagine not going for it, since it made me so happy, and went to LA the summer before I turned 17. I was extraordinarily lucky in signing with my agency the first week. I kept studying, and began to work my way up from regional plays, student films, commercials and little indie films, to network guest stars and leads. I wouldn't have it any other way; I've learned so much. And continue to, as I feel blessed to be working with so many more experienced vets of the business! And great writers on top of that. I really look forward to going to work each morning!
Best of Luck, and Go Buckeyes!
