I have had a dream to be an actor ever since I was seven, had wanted to be a star on the Disney channel. Growing up acting like different characters was always something fun to do and a way to express myself. Robin Williams was my favorite actor and inspired me to keep acting as an option, if I ever knew how to pursue it growing up.When you tell someone you want to be an actor as a kid they instantly assume that you are just stuck in a fantasy or pipe dream. Acting is not a Traditional Job like being a Doctor, Lawyer, Teacher and so on. So your family doesn't want their kids to pursue something that they think will be a waste of money.
I hear it all the time on the internet about schools promising you that they will make you a great actor and they can't exactly promise that. It all depends on if that person going to the school applies what they have taught. I have went to school, learned improvisation and script analysis, created my very own written commercial about mountain dew. I posted it to You Tube. Stood in front of casting directors and top exclusive agents and only got four call backs out of 13 casting directors and agents that showed up.
So now Jeffrey Barkey is ready to show the world that he can act!
