Why Did I Choose Acting

I fell in love with acting. I fell in love with playing different characters. I fell in love with the idea of being on t.v. I fell in love with the motivation to get better in the hardest industry out their. I fell in love with the hard work and the great results. LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION.  I fell in love with it all, but why?

I am a movie fanatic. I love watching movies and i love to re-act them, it's just what i do. Watching a lot of movies is part of the reason why i fell in love with acting. Your wondering how, aren't you? Just like everyone else I too have a role model. I too have someone to look up to and think about when i act. Watching her movies allows me to connect properly with my acting side. It makes me feel to go further and further in my acting. I want to one day become as good as her. Who am i talking about? Angelina Joli.

Angelina Joli grew up in LA. Her father was the amazing Academy Award winning actor Jon Voight. Joli also has a brother named James Haven who directed five student films she was starred in. Angelina trained at the Lee Strasberg institute. She was in a lot of stage productions, I too want to be in a lot of stage productions. That will be one of my goals to complete. Angelina was also a model in London, New york and LA. She began modeling at the age of 14. I also have an interest in modeling.

Ange is an Oscar award winning actress. An icon to me. I believe the movie that boosted up her career was Tomb Raider when she played Lara Croft. She performed some of her own stunts in these movies. I also want to be starred in action movies. Action movies is what really gets my attention. Other movies that also gave her a boost in her career are Hackers (1995), Fox Fire(1996), True Women(1997), George Wallace(1997), Gia(1998) and Girl Interrupted(1999) - really good movie. Angelina had years of acting training, from the age of 11. No wonder why shes so good. Not only that she had parents who were actors, the talent and genetics just flow right into her body. It's like she was made for this business. Acting basically became her life.

Joli is a great humanitarian. She goes around the world helping who ever she can. She's a superwomen like Alica keys. I love that she has a strong heart for aiding people and especially attending to children. Angelina is a mother of 6 kids. 3 of which she adopted and 3 that she gave birth too. Her love for people in need never stop. I also want to connect with the world around me and help children, teens, and women. I hate to see people struggle. Which means i hate to see myself struggle. That's why it's so easy for me to never give up. I am a competitor, i hate failing in things i do. This is why i always have to press on, this is why i always try to win, win, win in life. Nothing should become impossible for me. There is always room for possibility and success. Even if i fail, i know i did at least try more than once. Angelina Joli reminds me of me. She's also a person who likes to fight for what's right. I believe she too is also a competitor and does not like to fail in things she does.

My role model. My inspiration. My favorite. Angelina Joli is my Iconic Actor. 
She is the reason why i choose acting.
