Hello, I don't have any professional headshots quite yet. But I wanted some opinions on what kind of chance I have in starting an acting career this late in the game (I'm almost 26). I've taken a couple of acting classes as a teenager, and worked at a holloween haunted house a few times (the extent of my acting career). What age range could I be cast as? What look do you think I have? (as far as what characters could I play). Thanks for your opinions! (good & bad).

People begin acting careers at all ages, so 26 is certainly not too old.

Your looks will NOT determine your success in acting. Rather, it's whether or not you have the talent, determination, and perhaps a tad of luck, to keep you in a business that is highly competitive.

Sign up for an acting class (preferably with scene study) and see if you enjoy it. That would be a good first step.

To answer your question, you appear to be in your 20's. There are plenty of roles out there for you!

Good luck.

Best,

Ron
