In January 2000 I signed a two year contract with Central Florida and before you new it I was doing it; appearing in commercials, Television Shows, Movie Spots every week there was something. With Disney MGM Studios classifying themselves as a "working studio", as well as Universal, Orlando was supposed to be the new Hollywood East.
Then on September 11, 2001 my career came to a screeching halt and all production returned t Hollywood. Believing that the industry would continued to hang around here but it didn't and I was forced to find another career, so I choose education, I became a substitute teacher.
One day while class was ending, I over heard a student say that her mother was going to pay this school $6,000 to get her into acting, and when I got home that day, I started writing my first book "How to become a screen actor and or model in Florida" was very specific to Florida, simply because this is where I started my career. I was proud at first but it was a rushed job, and I made a lot of mistakes and after saying it ten times fast I began to hate the tittle. So I rewrote and republished under a new tittle Acting 101, The How to guide for beginning Actors. This book is more specific with listings all over the United States, However there is another book "How to make a living as a working Actor in LA" by Michael- John Wolfe.

This is book is Hollywood specific written by a man who has tried and test this industry. Anywhere is a great place to start but if you really want to be an actor Hollywood is where you really want to be.
