    If it's your passion, then it's up in the air.
    This exactly, unless you have a specific skill that pushes you to the A list stars like Jackie Chan / Jet Lee. If it's what you love go for it, life's too short to waste time doing what you hate.

    Well, I'm in a similar situation, just I'm not Asian I'm just plain American. I think the most important thing is to not be an idiot about it. So many people fly to LA with 5k in their pockets and big dreams of being on the silver screen. But it can take years to get noticed and they expect to live off of the money they brought only to find it lasts them a couple month. Have some sort of sidejob that brings in enough money to live where ever you plan to go, whether it be Atlanta, LA or New York. Also, take some acting classes, you may think you're the best and that all the skill you'll ever need has already manifested in you naturally but signing up for a class with other aspiring actors is a good way to hone your skills with others and who knows? Maybe you'll pick up a couple tricks along the way. Lastly, if you're serious about being an actor, whether you only want to be in a TV show or acting along side Johnny fucking Depp, you can't let yourself be discouraged. You need to push forward and crush all roadblocks and tell nay sayers to go fuck themselves. so make sure to plan everything and do all the research, don;t be that numbskull with 5000 in hi wallet and no idea what to do. Thats about it. Good luck to you.

    Dude if it's your passion never let it go, but you also have to think about the short term outcome and long term. You need a roof you need money, you need to think about a backup plan. Pursue it and see how far it takes you. Good Luck!

    Acting career is very hard! You need to get recognized and put in all the work. If you think you have what it takes pursue it and you shall be rewarded
