A Must See for the Young Aspiring Actor ...
22 January 2013 | by (ATLANTA, Georgia) – See all my reviews

This should be mandatory viewing for any young person that wants to be an actor, and thinks that he/she can be the next Tom Cruise or Julia Roberts by just getting on a bus and moving to Los Angeles.

The candor and honesty of the actors in this documentary reveal the reality of what it takes, and what it's like to endure in this line of business over a lifetime.

They are like the plumbers and electricians of the acting world. We may not know their names, but they have certainly made a better world for all of us in the world of entertainment.

Their common thread: the ability to withstand hardship and adversity, and still have a sense of humor...
