Honestly, that pretty much sums it up, IMO. I'm not trying to be mean, just realistic, like I said before. I wish you nothing but the best in your career in acting, whether you want to be a "working actor" or a "movie star." However, as far as acting is concerned, when it comes to this place, it's a very small part of a section (Live Action movie forum) on this site, and getting our support probably required you to go a different way about it than you did. I understand what you're trying to do, get support for you to appear in more TF films. It makes sense to come to a fan site for Transformers. However, you did it kinda heavy-handed. You basically said, "Here I am, this is what I did, now support me!!!" As if we were supposed to think you were so awesome because you had a 5-10 second non-speaking role in a TF film. Like I said before, I congratulate you for getting the role, no matter how small. It's the way to get started, make contacts in the business, and perhaps have it lead to bigger things. But don't get it blown out of proportion, it was just what it was. A small role, that quite frankly, I could have done. Not having to express emotions through facial expression and/or dialogue pretty much negates the need for acting classes. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you wasted your time getting them, because you will probably get to use what they taught you in the future. I'm just saying that when it came to this role, between you and me there wouldn't have been much of a difference. I have no problem with you being in TF4, and I do hope you get a bigger role in the next film, if nothing else than to prove yourself. You're welcome here, at least by me, even if the tone of some of our replies might have suggested otherwise. It's actually neat to have a member of the boards be a part of the live action production.
