Ok so Ive been taking the time to describe myself for acting resumes and agencies. Tell me if this sounds like me. Theres a lot of sarcasm. Tell me if you pick it up :)) Describe myself? Well, my name is Roland Lee Marsh IV. Thats just my name though. I am an 18 year old fellow who was on his way to becoming a doctor before he left Penn State University to come home and work at Target. I just graduated high school a couple of months ago and I am already cashiering at Target. Quite the accomplishment I think. Who needs Penn State? Now for my attributes. Physically, I feel typical. Brown hair, hazel eyes, average height, Caucasian, slim, and finally growing some facial hair. Emotionally, Im not typical. I dont even know what a typical person is when it comes to their personality. I think I am a strong, intelligent, motivated, fun, ambitious, and punctual person. I dont watch myself on a daily basis though. So with that being said, according to everyone else, I am intelligent, outgoing, bold, respectful, handsome, fun, happy, easy-going, personable, free-spirited, crazy, and a not punctual type of person. This isnt a job interview so please disregard the word punctual. My question is if I am all of that then why am I not famous yet? Its mind-blowing. I know. Anyways, back to Describe yourself. I dont have hobbies. I have things I like to do or things I have been doing for years so there is no going back now. I played soccer for years and I love hockey. I used to hunt when I was actually interested in being outside. I play video games. I go to the mall. I get together with friends. I go out to McDonalds and get a number three. I like ice cream. I love playing piano. I can type on a keyboard without looking. I keep up with celebrity news. I listen to Taylor Swift. I fangirl over Taylor Swift. Im saving up to see Taylor Swift in concert. I watch Taylor Swifts Blank Space music video over and and over again. I am in love with Taylor Swift. That is about it. Oh wait! I also love watching movies. I am a movie fan. I like movies more than the average liker of movies. I watch the same movies over and over to examine things I did not see the time before. I put myself in the actor or actresss shoes. I comment on certain acting skills. Sometimes I say, that was fake! or I could do that. My internet history probably revolves around Twitter, Facebook, Google, IMDB, and Fandango. Like I said before, I was on my way to becoming a doctor. That was my plan B. What happened to plan A? I never even tried it. I was fearful. I dont like failure. Plan A was acting. I never even attempted to get into it even though it was something I loved more than peach iced tea. Everyone wants to be an actor. Its the American Dream. Its unrealistic to want to star in movies. All of those statements are some of the statements that led me to skip plan A and jump right into plan B. I finally brought myself to take a few steps back and realize that I need to shoot for plan A and burn all of my other plans for the time being. My heart is with the craft of acting. I am so entertained by movie, actors, actresses, theatre, and performing. I did it in high school and it opened my eyes to see that is where my heart resided. I want to act so badly. I want to save a girl I fell in love with from a sinking ship. I want to run around a world filled with huge plants and blue monkeys. I want to drive a car that transforms into a robot. I want to run from Freddy Krueger. I want to skip down the yellow brick road hoping to find some brains at the end. I want to touch an audiences heart. I want people to stand up and clap when they see me escape a life threatening experience. I want people to cry when I cry and feel the pain I as an actor am trying to portray. I want to act. I could become the most successful doctor in the world and I would still regret my decision to skip my plan A. I have no plan B, C, or Z anymore. I will become an actor. Whether I perform at a local theatre for the rest of my life, or I star in Star Wars Episode 20. I will become an actor. That is me.
