Celebrity Biographies - Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling grew up in an extremely religious Mormon home to which, he says contributed greatly to who he is today. Ryan's parents divorced leaving him and his two siblings to live with his mother. Ryan had a hard time in school with other children and therefore was home-schooled by his mother. Gosling had been a part of a couple television series such as The Mickey Mouse Club, but he was really only known in and around Canada.

Ryan started building a name for himself in the US after doing a couple television series and then on to the films: The Slaughter Rule, Murder By Numbers, and Remember The Titans. Being noticed by Hollywood already, he had become considerably more well-known when he starred in the movie The Believer, which got him nominated for several awards.

When I, and probably most of America think of Ryan Gosling the most memorable move he has done is The Notebook. He acted along side Rachel McAdams that as a result of the movie had become his long time girlfriend. It was one of the most beautiful love stories ever to grace the silver screen.

The success Ryan had seen thus far was tremendous, but his career skyrocketed with his performance in the movie Half Nelson, earning him an Academy Award nomination as Best Actor.

Ryan has since been concentrating on his acting, music, and other various projects and ventures he is a part of.

Anything Ryan Gosling can't achieve? Being an Academy Award Nominee, an accomplished jazz guitarist, as well as releasing a song titled "Put Me In The Car", I would say he has all the bases covered. Everyone should expect to see much more from this multi-talented young man in the future.

Kissing 101 - Learn From the Stars

So where did we all learn how to kiss? 

A large fraction of the population learned how to kiss through watching movies or television shows. From Casablanca to Gone with the Wind to Lady and the Tramp, these movies depict how a perfect kiss should be. You can try improving your kissing skills by watching Hollywood's best film kisses. Here's my top 10 list:

#10
Kids in America
(Gregory Smith & Stephanie Sherrin)
This movie is about a budding teen romance built upon reproducing Hollywood's famous on-screen kisses. What's interesting to note is that this movie holds the record for the longest on-screen kissing scenes - 6 minutes - which can be seen in the end credits.

#9
Before Sunrise
(Ethan Hawke & Julie Delpy)
The movie features a series of "getting acquainted kisses" between Jesse and Celine as they travelled around Vienna.

#8
Rear Window
(James Stewart & Grace Kelly)
This film is famous for the "sleeping" kissing scene between Stewart and Kelly. Kelly approaches a sleeping Stewart, in a scene beautifully shot by the great Alfred Hitchcock, and right before she kisses him, he wakes up.

#7
Ghost
(Demi Moore & Patrick Swayze)
Pottery at its finest. The most unforgettable scene in this movie is the passionate kissing and lovemaking between them whilst Moore's character is shaping a clay vase with legs spread open. You wouldn't want to miss that one.

#6
A Room with a View
(Julian Sands & Helena Bonham -Carter)
This movie features an outdoor kissing scene between the feisty Lucy and free-spirited George. After this unexpected and sensuous "passion-awakening kiss", Lucy was forced to ending her engagement to her suitor, Cecil, played by Daniel-Day Lewis.

#5
The Notebook
(Rachel McAdams & Ryan Gosling)
A sentimental movie about separation and finding your way back, this film is filled with kisses, the most memorable one being the rain-soaked kiss that came after Allie discovered that Noah had written her 365 letters for each day of the year which were intercepted by her mother and led her to believe that he had forgotten about her. 

#4
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back
(Harrison Ford & Carrie Fisher)
Who could forget the moment of jaw-dropping truth when the audience realized that this saga wasn't a film about incest? After Leia said she "would rather kiss a wookie" we all thought dear old Han Solo wasn't going to get her. But our feisty little princess was no match for the charms of our rugged Han.

#3
The Matrix Reloaded
(Keanu Reeves & Monica Bellucci)
Ah, Monica Bellucci. She plays the love-starved and emotionally-needy wife of the Merovingian. To get back at her husband, she makes a bargain with Neo and Trinity. In exchange for bringing them to the Keymaker, she asks for a sample kiss. "...A kiss...I want you to kiss me, as if you were kissing her... You love her, she loves you. It's all over you both. A long time ago, I knew what that felt like. I want to remember it. I want to sample it. That's all. Just a sample...It's just a kiss". Neo fails at first and on the second try, Persephone sighs and says, "Yes, that's it." 

#2
Cashback
(Sean Biggerstaff & Emilia Fox)
Art student Ben Willis, in this British romantic comedy, has the ability to freeze time in his fantasy world. At the end of the movie, he shows his girlfriend Sharon, played by Emilia Fox, how he could stop time during a snowfall. Ben freezes time and they begin to share a kiss in a beautiful scene.

#1
Jerry Maguire
(Tom Cruise & Renee Zellwegger)
Of course, who could forget the after-date scene between Jerry and Dorothy. In this scene, Dorothy kisses Jerry and while doing so, Jerry accidentally untied the strap to her dress. But that doesn't stop there. While re-tying the straps, Jerry kisses her on the side of her neck and her shoulders.

So what are you waiting for? Bring out the popcorn and get ready to watch how the stars kiss and tell. May the smooch be with you...

Mad Men and Women's Fashions - Are You a Betty, Joan, Don Or Roger?

"Mad Men" is once again the runaway season hit. With its witty banter, beautiful cinematography and talented scriptwriting, how could it miss? The show was an obvious winner, but who knew what mayhem the show's fashions would bring?! Betty, Joan, Don and Roger are the show's standout fashionistas. You may not like how they live their lives, but man, do their outfits rock!

Betty and Joan

Betty and Joan are an obvious fashion dichotomy. Betty, with her Grace Kelly looks and simple housewife demeanor continually steals the show. Always perfectly coifed with never a hair out of place, Betty epitomizes the upscale, 1960's housewife. Remember her riding look? Amazing figure, no respectful housewife would dare eat a morsel more; spotless clothes topped with matching scarf and dazzling pear earrings. She's always a stunner, but without over doing it.

Joan is not glitzy or flamboyant, but rather aware of how she can best capture, and flaunt, her best assets. Forward in her talk and fashions, Joan purposefully emphasizes her beauty. Joan is often seen in hues of green, which of course compliments her gorgeous, red hair. All of her outfits are perfectly tailored and made to hug each curve. She wears soft, feminine and inviting fabrics. She makes no apologies for her femininity and stays true to herself.

Don and Roger

Don Draper, the TV show's star, is a breathtaking man from almost all perspectives. Unmistakably handsome, he is always the head-turner in his sharp, yet simple suits and skinny ties. Not only is his appearance crisp, but so is his business style. He has never a moment too chit-chat or talk shop, yet brilliant in his own right as an ad man.

Roger Sterling, the older, quintessential '60's white collar business owner, is comfortable in his more formal, three piece suits. The three piece suit has the flair of showmanship or performance. What other way to present yourself as a business man who creates images?

Peggy, Rachel, Midge, and Joy

As each character develops, their garbs fit who they are more and more. Peggy Olsen, the show's awkward, single woman trying to make a name for herself in the ad world, has changed her fashion style as the show progresses. Starting out at Sterling and Cooper as Don Draper's secretary, Peggy lived in boxy shaped dresses and thick cotton skirts. She clearly was uncomfortable with herself or unsure of who she was. She has now settled for girlish, non-offensive smocks. She's often seen with peter pan collars and bow details. Sporting a stylish, short bob, Peggy has started to come into her own.

Don invariable introduces new women to the show who come and go. The department store owner, Rachel Menkes, had an obvious understanding of how to pair stylish, side-swept hair with sensual low cut tops. The hippie movement in the 60's is not evident on the show since the setting is upscale New York. However, Midge, another one of Don's women, favors the bohemian, billowy skirts and loose, un-styled hair. The West Coast, breezy '60s sensibility had a brief cameo when Don meets up with Joy. Out in California, Joy and her friends wear light-colored sheath dresses and styled, yet not complicated hairstyles.

Conclusion

There is no lack of style or intrigue in the "Mad Men" lineup. Tailored suits and stylish women are in no short supply. However, as with all great shows, it is the inner mystique and intrigue of the characters and story line that ultimately drives the show to the ratings, and awards, it deserves. And if you happen to spot a sweater you "must have", all the better.

The Life of a Character Actor

I was spending quality time with my 10-year-old niece, Nicole, the way quality time is defined these days - by watching TV - and there on "Zach and Cody" was the lovable geek from "Boston Common," simply named, D.C. I remembered his tag line in one episode was "just like the city, without all the traffic." Having been born in Washington D.C. the quote inevitably stayed in my head as did the skinny guy with the booming voice. In fact, it was the voice that triggered the memory, as the man himself now on the tube in front of me seemed to have grown into his voice. Older, of course (only women don't age in Hollywood, because they aren't allowed to), but the hair close-cropped instead of flowing like the early nineties look I first saw him in and the frame filled out like anyone should be after 15 years. And as a pompous elementary school dean, he was funny. Fun-ee. Even Nicole laughed out loud as he berated Zach (or was it Cody? Is there a difference?) with a mop in a dream sequence. This might sound silly, but it was nice to see him again.

Then a few weeks later, there he was on "What About Brian?" (Yes, I watch it. Religiously. Judge me if you will, but ask yourself if you have a guilty boob tube pleasure or two that you'd blush to admit to. "You're The One That I Want," anyone?) He had shed Zach and Cody's haughty, over-the-top kid show character and merrily slipped into the demeanor of a slightly smarmy egotistical boss to Rick Gomez' Dave Greco. I was all a-flutter. "Ah! That guy!" I exclaimed and pointed to the TV, though no one else was in the room. I couldn't help it. I was a fan. Here was a guy that was so familiar; even though I didn't know his name, I loved his work. Like Richard Jenkins. Before he was on Six Feet Under, I always clapped my hands in glee when I saw him on the small or large screen. I hadn't seen "D.C. from Boston Common" in a while. It was like meeting up with an old friend again. I wondered where else he might surprise me?

The next time I saw him, I almost peed my pants. As a straightforward White House lawyer on Fox's "24" he disagreed with Peter MacNichol's Thomas Lennox, trying to give D.B. Woodside's President Wayne Palmer sound advice. Okay, this was crazy. I had to find out where this guy had been between NBC's "Boston Common" and this rush of recent roles. Had he been hiding under his bed for 15 years or had I just not been watching the right shows? In fact, what is the life of a non-celebrity in Tinsel Town? Who are those people you always recognize, but whose names aren't blasted across the tabloids every week? After all, these people, the ones that are continually working but whose names you don't know, are really the people you see most of the time.

After some investigation via the Internet - starting at imdb.com "Boston Common" - I first found out that "D.C." was in fact, D.C. Douglas. Scrolling down the impressive list of TV and film roles, I realized I had been missing him constantly: "ER," "NYPD Blue," "Las Vegas," "Strong Medicine" and a host of other roles had kept him busy. I rapidly moved onto his websites - all five of them, and found his contact info. Easy. So I called him - and there it was, The Voice. He seemed surprised to hear that anyone would want to interview him. So surprised in fact, that he laughed out loud - a great, hearty cackle, impossible to describe or imitate. Higher than you might imagine and loud enough for me to jerk the receiver away from my ear. But he was game. "What the hell," he said. "You don't work for The Enquirer, right?"

Turns out, this is one busy guy. Between on-camera acting and voice over, D.C. is constantly and consistently working. He invited me to interview him on a battleship in the middle of the night. But he had good reason; he was currently in the middle of shooting "Deadwater," a ghost ship thriller with Lance Henrikson and James Russo, due out in 2007. So I drove to San Pedro, climbed aboard the USS Lane and talked with him between takes down in the bowels of the beast.

I was embarrassed, but I had to know about "Boston Common." That's where I first saw him, so I assumed that was his first significant gig. But like most actors, he had already been on plenty of TV shows like "Coach" and "Melrose Place" and "Boston Common" was supposed to be a one-episode co-star. But Hollywood is unpredictable, and you never know what might help an unknown move forward. In this case, it was that laugh that nearly burst my eardrum when I first spoke to him that turned one line into ten episodes.

Vicki Rosenberg was the casting director for "Boston Common" and D.C. even had to audition for the one line. Once hired, "they had me there the whole week during the producer run-through," D.C. started. "It was a funny show and I couldn't help but laugh. And I laugh rather loudly and unabashedly - I once had a neighbor ask me not to laugh at night because it kept her up - so the next day for the Network run-through, Max Mutchnick and David Kohan (co-creators of "Will and Grace") told me to 'feel free to laugh as much as you want.' So I did. And then I sent a big basket of wine to congratulate them on the pilot. It was the first time anyone called me back to thank me... and Max said if there were more episodes, they'd bring me back. And they actually did! It took several episodes before they turned the character's name into D.C., because they were never sure if they could bring me back... at first they just plugged me into whatever odd role there was, but eventually I became 'D.C.' There I was, having a role essentially written for me. I was sure I had hit it big. I spent most of the money assuming I'd get nice residuals from summer repeats."

And then there was that laugh as he said, "The show lasted one season and was cancelled. No repeats. It went straight to cable and I made $50 in residuals for all 10 episodes."

So what does an unknown do then? Back to the proverbial pounding of the pavement, which, in L.A is done by car.

After fifteen years and untold gallons of gas, he has over a hundred on-camera projects under his belt. Between those and his busy voice-over career, he no longer needs to have an alternate job to pay the bills. "That's refreshing; I was a horrible waiter." But it did take some time to get there. An actor with no contacts is going to have as hard a time getting jobs in Hollywood as a mountain climber getting to the top of Everest without extra oxygen.

An actor's first contact on the long food chain of Hollywood is the casting director. Unless you can make friends (or lovers, for the more ambitious) out of producers, casting directors are an actor's connection to those highly coveted and sparsely available jobs. The first casting director in D.C.'s corner was Dava Waite, whom he met when he auditioned for "21 Jump Street". He didn't get the role, but she referred to him as a chameleon and called him in as often as she could. "She felt it was her duty to get me my SAG card. It was a Roy Rogers commercial that put me in the union and Dava continued to cheer me on. A couple of years later, she got me on "Coach" with Craig T. Nelson, acting opposite a young guest star; Rob Schneider." Soon in 1996, he was laughing it up on "Boston Common."

Twenty years later, many casting directors know him and trust him as a professional to work well with stars like James Caan ("Las Vegas"), Sherri Stringfield and Mekhi Phifer ("ER"), Alyssa Milano and Holly Marie Combs ("Charmed"), Rachel Nichols ("The Insider") and of course as already mentioned, Peter MacNichol and D.B. Woodside on "24".

And that list isn't just limited to TV, either. Through numerous independent films D.C. has acted with the likes of Tony Plana (of "Ugly Betty"), Krista Allen ("Totally Blonde"), Lorraine Newman ("Saturday Night Live") and a slew of big names in "The Commission" that included Martin Sheen, Martin Landau, Sam Waterston, Ed Asner and Corbin Bernsen.

So...no, I guess he hasn't been hiding under his bed. I just can't possibly see every TV show and every independent film ever made. But I've probably heard him more than I realize. Especially lately as his GEICO campaign has been running for six months. As the front and end voice over tags introducing the celebrities that translate for real GEICO customers, D.C.'s voice bounces around the nation on TV and radio waves.

As he makes his living behind the mic and in front of the camera, the paths occasionally cross. For the movie "Factory Girl," the star wasn't available to record some off-screen lines, so D.C. was called in to imitate Guy Pierce imitating Andy Warhol. "That was trippy." he said.

At that moment in our interview, D.C. was called to set to get beaten up by Lance Henrikson. We'd covered a lot of ground during the time I'd been there - for a guy from the West Coast, he talks fast. Ideas, descriptions and a gnarly sense of humor seem to fuel him forward and the listener has to hold on tight to keep up. I didn't mind - I'm from New York, after all.

In his absence, I wondered how he gets through the dry spells, if there are any. I've spoken to plenty of people in this business and the statement I hear the most is that unless you're Tom, Meryl, Julia or Kate, you have to create your own projects. No one sends you scripts to read if they don't know who the hell you are.

And furthermore, though co-stars and guest stars on TV shows are good gigs, most actors dream of their own sit-com or series. But the reality is that you're doing well if you're getting a lot of auditions and booking these kinds of roles. And these days, since most guest stars are being stunt-cast with stars (Madonna on "Will & Grace," anyone?), getting any auditions at all puts an actor ahead of most of the pulsing, shoving throng of people trying to jam their feet around the casting director's door. D.C. is one of those actors that has been in Hollywood long enough that casting directors know him, like him and know they can count on him. Yet, still it's tough. But when there's nothing else you want to - or by his admission, can't - do, you have no choice but to persevere.

For D.C., part of that perseverance comes in the form of creating his own projects. During his next break between shots, he denied being a writer, but I know from imdb.com that he's written and produced five original award-winning short films. In fact, he's also directed, edited, animated and acted in them. His most recent project that played the festival circuit is "Duck, Duck, Goose!" - a blend of 60's Technicolor European romp and post-modern cynicism. Worth a watch, if you want to buy it online - It won four festival awards, including one to D.C. for Best Actor and one to Robin Daléa, his "pint-sized fireball of a girlfriend, a talented and beautiful actress in her own right and a full foot shorter than me." Three awards came from one festival in New Jersey. "They love us in Trenton!"

Currently, he's in the midst of editing and animating another pet project he directed entitled, "The Crooked Eye," a short film based on a short story written by his mother, Betty Malicoat. Fay Masterson ("Eyes Wide Shut" and "Man Without A Face") stars and had to act in front of a green screen the entire time. "We shot 78 shots in two days and the first day, we didn't have any air conditioning. Poor Fay was practically a puddle by the end of the day, but she was a real trooper. Luckily the second day, the air was back on."

Looking at his resume of directing, I asked if he was pursuing that line of work too. He shook his head, "I'm having a helluva time pursuing being an actor, why would I want to pursue being a director too?" But, he added, if he was offered the opportunity and liked the project, he'd do it.

Part of persevering in the finicky industry of TV and film is recognizing that you're a product and embracing your type. "I'll never be on a show of gorgeous people like Courtenay Cox-Arquette's new show 'Dirt' or a show of young, beautiful people like 'The O.C.' You have to know your place in the market and know it's not a reflection of you as a person." And the laugh, "...but I can't be that bad; I managed to snag Robin."

In viewing his demo reel and individual clips, in the past 15 years, this actor has clearly gone from geek to guy. The Flock Of Seagulls haircut is gone and the man has grown into his voice. An actor's type is at the mercy of genetics and the passage of time. (And one's financial ability and desire to combat them with modern technology). So an actor's type is in constant flux and a smart one knows what to market. D.C. does just that, working his skills and look together.

So, then, for an unknown, working actor, what is success? "When I get there, I'll let you know. I have a funny feeling I'll be 85 when I finally get my own hit series and it won't matter much because anyone I hoped would see me that successful will probably be dead!" And there it is, the laugh that seems to carry him through it all, reverberating off the ship's steel walls until he's told to quell it by the first A.D. "Quiet on set! Please hold all cackling laughter!" D.C. puts his hands over his mouth...and quietly giggles.

The Notebook (Movie Review)

Adapted to screen from the Nicholas Sparks novel of the same name, The Notebook is one of the best romantic dramas to hit the big screen in decades. Garnering high marks from a wide-range of critics, The Notebook is a funny and emotional film which deals with love, relationships, and the risks people take. James Garner turns in a notable performance as the elder man, Duke, who reads the pages of his notebook to dying nursing home resident Allie (Gena Rowlands). Overall, this is a classic "chick flick" with a dramatic twist. Set in the World War II era, The Notebook is a great film...

Duke (James Garner) regularly reads from the pages of a notebook to an older woman in a nursing home. Suffering from Alzheimer's disease, her memories of the parts which he's read in the past appears and disappears without order, but Duke continues to read to her because of their deep and enduring friendship.

The notebook's story centers around the lives of a teenage boy and girl who meet at a carnival in the late-1930s. At first, Allie Hamilton doesn't know what to think of Noah Calhoun, but she soon gives into his insistence that they go out on a date. When Noah and Allie fall deeply in love, Allie's parents try to break up the couple. The Hamiltons are rich, and Noah and his father are from the poor side of town. Nevertheless, Allie and Noah are determined to be together.

When World War II breaks out, Noah is sent into conflict. He writes numerous letters to his love, but they go unanswered because Allie's parents are hiding the letters as well as her replies to Noah. After several years apart, Allie becomes engaged to successful businessman. But after reading a newspaper article concerning Noah's restoration of a historic home he once promised her, she decides to go visit him.

Allie's visit with Noah turns both their worlds upside down when they learn the truth about the letters. Now, Allie must choose between the fiancée she truly loves and the man who is her real true love...

Actor Ryan Gosling is entertaining and likeable in his portrayal of the young and energetic Noah Calhoun. The Notebook as a film is better served by featuring his superb talents. Likewise, up-and-coming actress Rachel McAdams is brilliant in her role as Allie. The emotions of her young romance are clearly conveyed by a natural and instinctive penchant for delivering her lines in just the right way. Call it onscreen charisma or whatever, but McAdams is one to look out for in the future.

In short, The Notebook is as good a film as it is as a book. Few books translate onto the big screen as well as they read in print, so The Notebook is to be heralded for its ability to do so. Charming and easy to like, the film glorifies the romance of a young couple who find true love - a love that lasts forever. Well-produced and featuring some amazing shots of natural locations, The Notebook ranks as a definite must-see film. Do yourself a favor and go see it today...

When The Stars Go Blue

Here is a lovely video I just made using scenes from The Notebook and the song "When the Stars go Blue" by Tim McGraw. Since it is not about Romeo and Juliet, I would love to know what you think. Also, during the "It's Not Over" scene, they were supposed to talk, but my computer is messed up. Enjoy!

The Notebook - A Love Story Movie Review

The Notebook is one of the most moving and emotionally successful romantic movies released in the last 20 years. It frequently appears as a top contender for most popular movie amongst women. It was directed by Nick Cassavetes and is based on the bestselling novel, of the same name, by Nicholas Sparks. It was produced on a surprisingly low budget of only $30 million.

The structure of the movie adds considerably to the story's successful development as the plot deals basically with the fate of two young, star-crossed lovers along the lines of 'Romeo and Juliet'. In 'The Notebook', 17 year old Allie (Rachel McAdams), the daughter of a wealthy family, falls in love with a local country boy, Noah (Ryan Gosling), while on vacation in the early 1940s.

However, the narrative is told from the perspective of an elderly male patient in a nursing home (James Garner), named Duke, who is reading the story of the two young lovers to a fellow patient (Gena Rowlands). She is suffering from dementia and has lost her memory.

The story of Noah and Allie begins at a carnival on Seabrook Island in North Carolina. After well-meaning friends help them to get better acquainted, their feelings deepen throughout the summer they spend together.

During one scene, they visit an abandoned house called the Windsor Plantation and Noah reveals his intention to one day own and renovate the property.

Allie's parents are less impressed with Noah's prospects as a likely husband for their daughter and forbid her to see Noah, who reluctantly believes her parents to be right and that he is not good enough for her. As a result, they break up and Allie returns to her home.

Noah is devastated by the separation and writes to Allie every day for a year, without receiving a reply. Eventually, he enlists to fight in World War II, while Allie attends Sarah Lawrence College in NY State.

After the war, in 1947, Noah manages to buy the Windsor Plantation and sets about restoring its earlier splendor. In the meantime, has met an injured soldier named Lon, a handsome young lawyer from a well-connected family. He also impresses Allie's parents and the two young people get engaged.

The story of Allie, Noah and Lon is deftly woven and the emotional tension is high throughout the movie as the viewer identifies and sympathizes with the plight and reluctant acceptance of their fate which descends on both Noah and Allie.

The tension is skillfully raised again when Allie reads an article in a newspaper about the work Noah has carried out on Windsor Plantation.

The director handles the feelings of those involved with careful craftsmanship and sensitivity. The focus is strong, without distracting sub plots as the characters' lives unfold. The young actors - as well as the older ones - handle the roles with an ease and grace that the story demands.

The Notebook probably doesn't attract many of the fans who would rather be attending films from the 'Terminator' saga. However, for its intended audience, it is a winner.

The final closing scenes of The Notebook are among the most moving and satisfying to be found on film and deserve the tears and cheers of the viewers.

Become Famous - 3 Ways to Discover Fame

Millions of men, women and children dream of becoming famous. From a very young age, many people are driven to see their name in lights and their faces plastered on every billboard in every country. And while millions of people dream of it, only an elite group of individuals actually achieve it.

Those that are interested in finding work in the entertainment industry have a few options when it comes to discovering fame. There are three major categories which most celebrities end up falling under: acting, singing and modeling.

1. Acting. Most of the world's most famous celebrities have - at one point or another - tried their hand at acting. Securing a major role in a film can make your acting career soar to all new heights (just ask Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling after their performances in The Notebook or the entire cast of Friends). Getting cast for a major role is the hard part, once you've starred in a successful movie or television show; you pretty much have it made.

2. Singing. If you want to become famous, but clearly can't act, singing is probably your best option. These days, you don't even need a phenomenal voice - especially if you have a marketable image. Take Britney Spears for example. She doesn't have the best vocals in the business but she is the most successful singer of her generation. Shows like American Idol and America's Got Talent can skyrocket a person to fame in less than a year (just ask Carrie Underwood and Leona Lewis).

3. Modeling. Some of the most successful celebrities in the entertainment industry have risen to fame by stretching their long legs on the catwalk. Tyra Banks, Ashton Kutcher and Heidi Klum are all great examples of how modeling can make you a celebrity. If you have a great figure and a marketable image but don't really excel in acting or singing (yet), you can still be famous as a model. Shows like America's Next Top Model and Make Me A Supermodel have helped many models get their break in the entertainment industry.

If you're not necessarily looking to become famous but really want to work in the entertainment industry, there are countless jobs available. Considering becoming a film producer, screenwriter, set designer, makeup artist, hair stylist, entertainment lawyer or movie marketer.

Becoming famous is tough enough when you live in an entertainment-driven location like Los Angeles, but it's incredibly difficult if you don't. Moving to Los Angeles will increase your odds of success and will give you the chance you deserve to make it in this industry.

We wish you the best of luck in your endeavors. And remember, persistence is key. Sometimes you have to be turned down 50 times before you're finally given one opportunity. But when that opportunity knocks, all your hard work done will finally be worth it.
