ASK AARON - March 2004 Answer

From Rico, IL

I am 36 years old and am thinking about becoming an actor. Am I too old to get started and make a living in this field?

Dear Rico:

I would not be thinking about making a living as an actor at this point. You might want to start off part – time and see what happens. You live in a good market, so check things out and see if you are getting a lot of work. You also have to make sure you can handle the uncertainties of being a self-employed actor.
