Hey, guys.
I've always been interested in acting and have done a few plays and musicals before. My friends and family say I have a great voice and that I'm a great actor. I know that acting in Hollywood is a teenager's pipe dream; however, it would still be awesome.
Now, my best friend from high school has an aunt named Lona Vigi who is a professional hairstylist in Hollywood (she has done Cameron Diaz's hair on every single movie she's been in since Charlie's Angels, in addition to others such as Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, Natalie Portman, and Sandra Bullock). I met her a few months ago and she told me that I am one of the most handsome men she's ever seen (I know - it's a little weird, but it still seemed like a pretty lofty compliment). I've been toying with the idea of giving Lona a call and asking her if she might be able to use her web of influence to somehow help me get my foot in the door in an acting career. Does anyone else think that this would be a good idea?
Once again, I know this is probably a stupid idea. I understand that people don't become famous actors overnight, and I understand how few actors actually make any money from their craft. However, I'm still young and I've always believed in not passing up an opportunity, regardless of how ridiculously outlandish it may seem.
Thanks in advance, everyone.
(PS - I had absolutely no idea what category to place this question in. Sorry if it isn't in the right category.)
Edit - here is a link to Lona's IMDB page. She seems to be pretty well connected, but then again, I guess I wouldn't really know what that means and doesn't mean.
