For those that don't know, I work for a small domestically produced soap. I'm one of the writers, and as you can probably tell after a couple minutes on this blog, the producers aren't that picky about "ability". That's especially true of the cast - who are chosen for their looks more than anything else.
If you are relatively attractive and can read, then you're exactly what most casting agents look for on small budget productions. Just get yourself an agent. If you ever find yourself on my set, do yourself a favour: unless you're actually Russell Crowe or Cate Blanchett, just read the friggin lines. Deliver every syllable as written, and be thankful for the paycheck.
Who knows, after years of hard work and constantly working on your craft, you might get somewhere. Here's some acting tops from James Franco:
After a while of hard work and training, casting agents may begin to notice more than your good looks. The Director may start asking for your input. The producers may even let you give notes on the script. But you're not there yet.
