Am I never too old for acting school? I'm 17 going on 18 soon, so yeah. I am not sure if I'm able to take up acting lessons. Because I want something for my acting career resume and stuff since I really wanna go into acting since I'm so good at it.

Hey, No you are not to old I know people who are in there late 50's and are just starting in acting! You should defo go to acting lessons, the more experiance you get the better. Do improv classes and method acting lessons - this is what all the big A list stars do. I can give you the name of some sites that can help you get agents and for casting calls - I cant print it on here as it is a referal. I find these sites very helpful. Try to do as much TV and film stuff as you can. Casting directors are more likely to call you in for an audition if you have show reel. So try to build up a show reel doing short films ect. It is extremly hard to get work in TV and film - even more so if you have done loads of theatre work, because they want people who have worked in front of the camera before and theatre and TV work are VERY different. Remeber to PM me and if you have any more questions feel free to get in touch. Good luck! :)

I don't think you can ever be too old to do acting. If you don't go to college to do it there are usually places to join amateur drama clubs and things like that to get the hang of it and find out what you have the most talent for.

Oh, it's never too old, or too old for things you are dedicated to do. If you are so good at acting , you will surely be successful in that career. Best wishes to you !
