I’ve been told I do not have the typical indian look or accent, although i do still have a strong indian accent and features to some extent. I could pass off as a Latino/middle eastern/ moroccon etc type of guy too. Iam not fair/light skinned, but iam not dark either. Iam kind of wheatish. iam 27, been living in NY for 5 yrs now and trained at the American Acad of Dramatic Arts. dont want to sound boastful, but i do get a lot of compliments on my looks. I have theatre experience, and my teachers have always told me i would be more castable if i work on reducing my accent. Iam in a dilema now on whether i should go back to Mumbai(bollywood) and give Indian Cinema a shot where my color or accent wont be a problem, or if i should work on my accent and see if i can find work in Hollywood. Iam very strong willed and have big dreams/aims in life and will not give up till i reach the top.I like the global reach and realism of hollywood cinema.bollywood as we know is more song, dance and romance. bollywood has been going places lately too and Bollywood actors are becoming popular worldwide too. Time is running against me and i need to make a move soon. personally i prefer Hollywood cinema and would like to be part of it. What is of concern is that is hollywood open to minorities? is there enough work out there for people like us? i know it would take years of hard work and dedication to be A-list but i do not want to run a race where i know i dont stand a chance or the odds are against me. Minorities are typically typecasted and i do not want to play second lead or supporting actor forever. i know i have what it takes to be A-list one day. My nationality/color i could never change and dont want to as iam proud of who iam. Accent reduction is possible, although a little hard ive heard at my age.
Iam looking for honest answers from people of various backgrounds/ ethinicity on where i stand and what would be your advise as the general public. I am very open to all answers, so your honestly will really help me decide.Thanks :)
