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

The Illusionist
Set in Vienna at the turn of the century, “the Illusionist” is an entertaining and crafty film, bursting with clever and deceitful characters, with a tricky plot to follow.
At the beginning of the movie you meet the illusionist, Eisenheim( Edward Norton), right when his new show is announced to be shut down by the chief police inspector (Paul Giamatti).
The film then flashes back to tell Eisenheim’s background, where he meets an unusual man that has a few tricks up his sleeve. The man and everything then vanishes because no one knew if it actually happened. Eisenheim then was interested, he began to teach himself some tricks. Many people thought that he had special powers.
In the process of one his tricks he meets the love of his life, the duchess, Sophie (Jessica Biel). They become friends, then it gets more serious as they grow older. Sophie is above him in society so their love is not right in society. They are then separated from each other for many years. Eisenheim travels around the world to learn more about his tricks and to perform magic in public. Eisenheim does astonishing tricks, from an orange tree growing within seconds to conjuring spirits, stunning and silencing the audience.
Eisenheim is then informed that the crown prince Leopold( Rufus Sewell) would be attending his show. Crown Prince Leopold, known for his abusive behaivior, was accompanied by the one and only Sophie. The prince volunteers Sophie to be in Eisenheims act, at which he recognizes at first glance. She is slow to learn who he really was but when she finally discovers who he is, they start meeting secretly and make up for the time they lost. The prince finds out, which leads to a long and twisted plot.
Edward Norton, who plays the stiff and artful Illusionist, Eisenheim, is the best choice for this movie. Beside the fact that his accent changes frequently, Norton’s performance is memorable. He gets into his character in a subtle and yet intense way.
The story was told in the eyes of Paul Giamatti, who played the chief inspector Uhl. He was amazed and still a little suspicious of Eisenheim’s ability. Giamatti’s character was serious but very likable. Director Neil Burger obviously knew what he was doing when he cast these actors because they played into their role satisfyingly.
This film was a one of a kind because it tied in everything there should be in a movie, it contained romance, magic, drama and a twisted plot. Even though there wasn’t much dialogue, all the empty spaces were filled with extravagant music that put you in the right mood.

I’m in the Army and I’m a man of Indian(India) descent. I loved my girlfriend of 7 years but we broke up yesterday. She couldn’t stand how much I went overseas to war so much. I understand that’s tough, but I didn’t want to see her torture herself by staying with me, so I broke up with her. I knew she couldn’t stand my being away so much.
Also now that I look back on it, I was very tolerant of her. My friends always said she treated me like garbage. And now that I look back on it, she kind of did.
Even though I was born and raised in the States, I don’t think there’s alot of women who would date an Indian man(of descent). I think I just got lucky by finding a rare one.
But would you date a guy of Indian descent? Do you think I’ll ever find love again? I can’t stand Indian women by the way I’m sorry lol.
And no I don’t have a funny 7-11 accent lol
