What did you want to be when you were small?

freshpopcorn

When I was a small kid I used want to drive a silage harvester or tractor then it moved on to wanting to be Garda.
Didn’t end up doing either.
Whilst the Gardai weren’t recruiting when I left school. I’d have been to shy for it anyway at the time.

I followed up this up with absolutely no classes or attempt to become one.
Still go to Cinema and think 'how hard can it really be' :pac:

ELM327

An eu bureaucrat or an F1 driver.

When i could not be a gynecologist. I wanted to be a gigolo, when none of the above worked. Well I ended up a wanker. After a bit of contemplation I realise pussy ruined my life. In a good way I think

I wanted to be a combo librarian/teacher/egyptologist and have adventures like Indiana Jones, just with a lot less nazis and facemelting.

So did I. I did a few stage schools during my primary years and applied to drama schools in the UK but I have zero talent so it wasn't to be.

Outlaw Pete

A stunt man - like Colt Seavers.

Most likely because Jody Banks was always around his place jumping in and out of his hot tub.

if you loved acting could you not go back to amateur acting. Before the covid thing started their were few places looking for actors/actresses. Acting is not all about the fame, its about immersing yourself in something different.

You're never to old not to chase dreams.

When the covid is over try go back to acting. In regards to how hard it can be. Its fu¢king boring. I was a researcher/producer on a couple of short docs, for dc/tv & near/tv a few years ago, and a lot of it is sitting around. A friend of mine done a six minute short skit. It took almost 8 hrs to shoot. To be honest its wasnt that good and it ended up being binned

I've never actually tried it. Of course I know its incredibly difficult even to become a good amateur but still when I'm watching a film a little part of me thinks I could do that I'm sure i'd be in for a land if I ever go and do anything :pac:

I wanted to be a builder like daddy

I too wanted to be one when I was a kid.
Honestly a large part of me still thinks it's not that hard

Have bottle and believe in what you're saying to be true.
I think what adds to belief of "acting is hard" is all the bs actors say... Oh like to prepare for this role I spent 4 months working in a mental institution to get more of a sense of my characters blah blah blah :pac:

You got the script. You went over it a hundred times and said your lines a thousand times in front of the mirror lol. Sure you also did your homework but it's not like you spent thousands of hours researching like some professor lol.

Jodie Foster said it best after winning the academy award for silence of the lambs. She had imposter syndrome and thought everyone was gonna catch on to her being a bad actress (in her mind) and they were gonna take the award away.

Either Barbie or a Disney Princess. Preferably the latter, since I was quite keen on having a horse-drawn carriage in the shape of a pumpkin as a means of everyday transport.

Obviously I was very environmentally conscious as a child.

ExMachina1000

Airline pilot.
Then I realized I hate long flights, people from other countries, people from this country, sitting down, etc

Bus drivers have to navigate traffic and react instantaneously. Modern air line pilots press a few buttons and the plane flies itself.

I don't want to drive a bus either.

MissDisaster

A librarian.
Because I thought they got to sit and read books all day. Devastated when I found out the truth...
