      Because you don't become an actor/artist/photographer from going to school and learning it. It's something you figure out on your own.
      Stop feeding these absurd "art colleges."
      Take that energy, build up some money and buy a camera and show the world what you can do.
      None of this beep can be learned in a classroom. I cannot believe people still think this way.

        The amount of actors who never studied is fairly high. The amount of writers and directors who have never studied is more than those who have.
        You don't need college to learn these skills.

          I remember her saying that working as an extra really helped. If you check out her early work before LOST, most of her roles are uncredited.

            Acting isn't very hard. What's her face won American Idol then got nominated for an Oscar in her first movie. Edward Furlong was yanked off the street and put into Terminator 2 because of the way he looked, and he did perfectly fine, went on to be an even better actor in American History X. Regular people 'act' every day, throughout their daily lives. People become actors because they're hot.

              Have you ever heard of a child actor?
              Is being an actor doesn't come as naturally as breathing, it ought not come at all.

                Matt Dillon comes to mind. Casting agent for Over The Edge was looking at high schools, found him cutting class. He knew nothing about acting, the rest is history.

                    Does JJ Abrams have that reputation? Unless you can produce some receipts. Sit down and shut up.

                      Dom was quite vocal about her loyalty
