To become a successful actor, one needs talent, ambition, luck, hard work, a CV showing experience from amateur performances, and acting classes to expand their skills. Gaining experience through amateur performances and moving to an area with theaters and studios can help actors find work. Dedication is also important, as actors may experience rejection but must continue looking forward to future roles. Reliably showing up to work is essential once an acting job is obtained.
