To be honest, it's considered very late to start acting at 11 and a half, for the industry. Most kids are doing it from toddlerhood on.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most child actors, once they hit 18, once they hit 21, that's it. Even teenage kids often don't make the transition.
My oldest step-son wants to direct or produce. As far as being an actor, I've already told them they have to wait until they're 18; I won't take them to auditions.
Unlike me, a lot of child actors are very short, which is why they work. So when they're 15 they can play 11 or when they're 18 they can play 14. They look young for so long, they have abilities a much younger kid wouldn't have.
I started acting when I was 17. I started modeling when I was 13. It helps in the way that you don't get fazed by cameras too much.
I started acting before that when I was about 13 or 14.
I started acting when I was about 18. I was a model for a couple of years before that.
Don't get too set on becoming an actor at an early age. I think that's where some people get into trouble. Acting becomes their life. I don't want that.
I got started as an actor when I was 12.
A lot of actors know they want to be actors a little bit earlier on. I didn't even really start studying until I was about 22.
I started auditioning when I was about 10 and I didn't get my first job until I was 12, and two years at that age is really hard.
