Who Wants To Be A Movie Star?

If you are an avid movie goer, or even watch television, you will notice that there doesn't seem to be much room for new talent. Nonetheless, gifted actors -- true actors, not pretty-boy models -- continue to prepare themselves with hopes that one day they will make it to the silver screen.

Actor Dennis Baker, who is currently attending Rutgers University for his MFA in acting, is one of those actors who is studying and perfecting the skills that will eventually further his acting career. He has a role in the feature movie "Nostalgia" which makes its debut in New York in the ACE (American Cinematic Experience) Film Festival. The festival runs from August 24th to the 26th.

Actors like Dennis are tenacious, willing to work as waiters or extras and tackle the small parts, before they ever give up on their dream. Just like minor league baseball players they work on their craft and wait for that one chance to make it to the big show. Author Rob Bell once wrote, "My life work is fundamentally creative in nature. And creating has its own rhythms, its own pace. Inspiration comes at strange times when you create. And inspiration comes because of discipline. And discipline comes when you organize your life in specific, intentional ways. It means saying yes to certain things and no to other things. And then sticking to it."
