Am I too ugly to become an actress?

I want to be an actress, I really think I could make it.. but the problem is.. I am very skinny. Like.. people always ask if im anorexic (IM NOT) and right now i'm modelling but idk i want to act. I just don't know if directors and or producers will not cast a girl because of her weight. I know the whole thinspiration tragedy is going on right now and i am NOT for it. I've always hated being skinny and i've always tried gaining weight but no matter how much I eat i cant gain weight. Is there still a possibility I would get booked for jobs?

Recommended Answer:

If you are modelling, you must not be unattractive. That you are thin is not really an issue, depending on whether you look unhealthy. The major stumbling block for most people who want to become actors is that you need acting ability, excellent training and lots of experience. As well, it helps to have singing, dancing and music reading ability. Add a bit of networking ability and a solid understanding of the business and you may be in with a chance. It would be better to focus on developing your skills and finding out if you have the talent and motivation it takes to pursue what is a very difficult career.With regards to your inability to gain weight, if you have not been referred to an endocrinologist it may be a good idea. Thyroid issues may be the problem. At the very least a full medical assessment could be worthwhile. Best of luck with your plans.
