Boonie Tunes: Why do I want to be an actor?

For Christmas break my teacher gave us a homework assignment, which was write about why you want to be an actor. I could go on and on about why I want to be an actor, but this is a small piece of how I feel and what I wrote for it. I also included pictures of the actors that have inspired me to be better and continue on this journey.

Why do I want to be an actor?

Ever since I was little I knew I was meant to perform. Every time I get on the platform, or shoot a short scene there is a sense of freedom. I feel free to be whoever I want to be without judgement or fear of rejection. When I finally let go, I loose myself in a part of me I never realized before. There is a sense of discovery of self. I have been inspired and positively affect by movies, by the deliverance of the actor. I want to do that for those who watch films. Films inspire, change, and cause people to dream and sometimes escape into something bigger than there reality of life. I want to make a difference with every part I play. I want people to be able to identify with me as I entertain them, all the while as I free myself to be whoever I am playing. There is nothing else I want to do in this world than be an actor. There is no option B. This is my destiny, no matter how cliche' that may seem. I will do whatever it takes to be great at what I love to do...act!
