got a really late start in acting

But isn't it true that the actors who start later in life generally have more long-lasting and successful careers as time goes on than actors who started very early? There aren't very many actors on the A-List so the fact that several of those did get their start late does make a difference, doesn't it? I think many actors who start as young as you are saying kind of burn out and don't amount to much later on. Many child actors and very young adult actors end up having waning careers by their 30s. At least that is how I perceived it. Leonardo DiCaprio would be an exception (he started off as a child actor and managed to carve out a highly prestigious career in his adulthood, which is why I respect him).

child actors yes I agree with you about that. but I'm talking about the ages from 20-22. but yeah child actors like Kirk Cameron, Danny Bonaduce, Maureen McCormick, they almost always have 10 to 15 years tops of a career.

fuc# you. I didn't say it diminishes his talent. how much talent do you have? why does it matter? its completely irrelevant to this discussion. so, why did you bring up how much talent do I have? you are stupid and are a moron for asking that question. why did you attack me for no reason. oh, because your are ignorant and retarded.

But then again, he was the ONE TRULY who earned his way into acting. He finished college and a masters. He did what any proud parent would want their kid to do.
Most other actors/actresses are either spoonfed their arrival into acting or they are dropouts. This is ONE THING that makes me his fan. The fact that he earned his way.

that is really cool, but what is better than that is what james franco did he actually went to college after being a famous and huge star in Hollywood and got his degree. now, THAT is rare. coming from a huge position of power and having your career set for the next 20 or 30 years, never having to work outside of acting for the rest of your life but still going to college and getting your degree.

Better than not going to college at all; however, I would still say Bradley is more logical. Franco actually had connections to the movie industry and so his career started. Bradley had no one. If he banked on acting and THEN went to college, who would have known if Bradley would have been who he is today. Always get your education first and then work your dreams.

not true. traditionally and conventionally actors start acting at 20 years old in movies and tv shows and so 24 is really old in comparison. actresses also usually start acting at 20 years old in movies and tv shows.
and no, most male actors start getting good roles once they are 25 years old and the same goes for actresses. -

There is no statistic about most actors starting at 20. That's something you made up. "Really old" is a case of perception.
No, most male actors only start getting good roles in their 30s. Compare the youngest Best Actor winners to the youngest Best Actress winners.

Adrien Brody "The Pianist" - 29
Richard Dreyfuss "The Goodbye Girl" - 30
Marlon Brando "On the Waterfront" - 30

Youngest Best Actress winners
