Should I turn it down for my best friend?

I%26#039;ve been with an acting agency for almost two years, doing commercial and theater, and they%26#039;ve offered me guest appearances on Disney shows and a main role on a series airing in late 2008-early 2009 on Disney, and Disney has been my dream since I started acting. But I%26#039;d have to move to California. Well, one of my really good friends is with the same agency, but she only does commercials and theater. Well, anyway, should I go with the Disney series and leave my best friend since I was born, or turn down something I%26#039;ve wanted all my life?

You don%26#039;t have an acting career in tandem with someone else, it is an individual thing. If your friend is your friend she will cheer your success. Go to LA. Live your dream.

I would go to california definatly! your friend should be supportive towards you. im sure she wouldn%26#039;t mind at all! she%26#039;d be happy for you! i have a friend who i have known all my life and i know that she would support me in whatever or however long away i am. you can still phone her, email, write. if it%26#039;s your dream you should go live it! your not being selfish at all if thats what your thinking! go for it. also talk to your friend and see how she feels, but at the end of the day it is your life and if it%26#039;s been your dream then i would defo full fill it! you will regret it otherwis!
Reply:You can%26#039;t stay tied to her forever, go for your dreams.


If your friend is really a friend she will understand.





These days it is a lot easier to maintain a long distance relationship with the internet and all the things that come with it.
Reply:Defenitley Do THIS!!! you have a great shot at stardom and yes it might hurt to leave your friend behind but I%26#039;m sure she will understand. If you dont do this you%26#039;ll be kicking yourself in the butt later on!!.. haha.





Best of Luck!!
Reply:Now your best friend can visit you in california in the warm sun.
Reply:First you have to ask yourself: is this show even going to be a success? Will I end up a sell-out like Miley Cyrus? Think to yourself, I know I would move to New York in a heartbeat if they offered me a role in RENT, but it%26#039;s your choice. You should try to live your dream, but if it means leaving behind your humanity and your best friend it isn%26#039;t a very good decision. Talk to your friend about it, and if you make it big, never forget the little people. Negotiate.
Reply:Your friend will understand if you go to California and follow your dreams. If you don%26#039;t go you may resent her for it later.

Reply:You would never forgive yourself if you turned down an opportunity of a life time. Millions of people everyday shoot for their dreams and never can touch them. If my dream was held up in front of me I would move any where I had to in order to hold on. I also know I would do it with the love and support of all my friends and family reguardless of what type of chances might be involved.





She has been your best friend forever and is in the same profession. She understands the type of changes in the industry. You two will be able ot keep in touch and hold onto that firendship. Besides think of the contacts you%26#039;ll make that might be able to help her get her dream as well and be close to you.





You don%26#039;t want to live out the rest of your life knowing the one thing you wanted more than anything was right in front of you and you turned it down. That type of thing could drive a wedge between your friendship anyway. If you stayed for her she might feel guilty and down the road if things are not going great for you you could end up resenting her for it.
Reply:Project yourself into the future. It%26#039;s now 2039. Thirty years from now. You are settled in in your life. Have a job, kids, family, etc. You are no longer acting. You gave that up years ago, because while you enjoyed your time doing commercial and theater, you really didn%26#039;t make a big break. You had a chance to go to California and get on Disney Channel, but you didn%26#039;t take it.





Now, in 2039 you really don%26#039;t love what you are doing. The only thing you really ever loved doing was acting. You often wonder what it would have been like if you had gone to California instead of staying behind to be with my friend.





What%26#039;s she doing now? She got married and moved away. You only see her once every year or two, even though you do talk once every couple of months or so.

How do you think you might feel in a situation like that?





Would you want to have that regret, that you didn%26#039;t go and follow your dream?





There%26#039;s a saying: %26quot;It%26#039;s better to regret the things you have done, rather than the things you haven%26#039;t done,%26quot;





Follow your heart. Like TheatreDoc said, if she%26#039;s really your friend she will understand and cheer you on. She might not like it, but she will encourage you to follow your dream.





I interviewed a Hollywood acting coach named Bernard Hiller. He talked to me about the things he feel are necessary to prepare for the move to LA. You can find the interview here: http://www.actingcareerstartup.com/start...





Good luck!
