Do you think actors should limit how many bio pics they do?

even when the stories aren’t really similar?

I was sitting on the computer daydreaming about what historical people I’d play if I was an actor and if I got the opportunity, and then I started thinking, are too many bio pics bad for actors? Like you play a boxer and then a criminal and then a pimp and then a political figure and then a comedian or something like that… you know? Anyways what do you think? Should actors try to limit how many real people the portray?

BQ: If you could, what historical person would you play? Based on how interesting you think they are, how they/you look and other stuff like that? Give more than one if you want.

BQ2: Has anyone seen Moneyball, Drive or 50/50? Give me your opinions on them if you have. I really enjoyed Drive..

No offense, but that’s a stupid statment. If you pull off all of those roles, your a extremely versatile and probably a phenomonal actor.

BQ: The rapper Cage. I don’t look like him but his life is extremely interesting, albeit horrible.

BQ2: I reviewed Drive on here already so I’ll just say it’s my second favorite film of the year. I’ve yet to see the other two but hopefully that’ll change soon.

A Thespian can include anyone involved in theatre such as actors/actresses and techies(set, sound lighting(me)). Actors are just the first people who come to mind.

Can a persian become a famous actor in hollywood?

Why are there not many persian actors in hollywood? Is it because middle easterns go after different careers, or they just can’t make it? I’ve seen some actors who look persian, that might play a middle eastern, but they’re not even from that area. I’m really good at acting, and I like it. Do i have a chance of being a famous actor like johnny depp, will smith, leonardo dicaprio, or adam sandler?

Johnny Depp is- German, English, Irish, French, African and Cherokee
Will Smith Is African-American
Leonardo Dicaprio is italian,German and Russian
Adam Sandler is Jewish……So tell Me Why A Person of Persian race can not Become a great actor. Race has nothing to do with acting ability……So if you think you got what it takes pursue it.

What is it called where an actor fills in information about concepts in the movie to explain stuff?

Like what Samuel L. Jackson does in half his films that are based on books. Just goes into a speech about various concepts that the general audience will not already know. The actor acts as if their character is explaining it to other characters, but in reality you can tell it’s for the audience to understand something.
I’ve seen it in a few movies, however the most obvious were Sphere and Jurassic Park.

An aside.

What percentage of actors typically start in the porn industry?

Can you give a citation, or do you have examples of celebrity actors who started in porn (and are no longer doing porn)?

Sylvester Stallone, Traci Lords, Jackie Chan, Kristine DeBell and Catherine Ringer, all of these mainstream performers did some porn at some point in their past. Traci Lords and Catherine Ringer were full fledged pornstars. There are almost no other prominent examples where a pornstars successfully launched a non-porn, mainstream career.
