Fucking everyone in NYC is an "actor"

I've lived here my whole life and would agree it's terrible. Manhattan (from 96st st and lower) is really great if you're rich enough to enjoy it but everywhere else sucks including the boroughs.

It's a great place to visit. It really is.

I do hate commuting in and out of it every day of the week. From the mentally disturbed woman fapping on the train, so the subway platform smelling like urine, to the pan handlers, to the buffalo sized german shepards in penn station....

Ugh.
 
1. Brooklyn is the greatest of the 5 boroughs. It's not up for debate. You only disagree if you're not a native and/or your only knowledge of New York City is your tourist vacation here.

2. New York City gives back what effort you put into being here. There is something cool happening on virtually every block and in every neighborhood almost 24 hours a day, every day. If you expect it to just come to you because omg it's new york, that's not how it works. You gotta be out here to experience it, the liveliness of the city. You have to hunt down that exotic cuisine, go find that music scene, go visit the various open spaces, etc. You suck if all NYC is to you is Times Square.

3. Nobody's an actor here...not like it is in LA. Everyone *is* definitely a writer though, lol.

Oh man, even though I live in Manhattan, I hate it sooo much when people call "the city" Manhattan.

Worse, I live in upper Manhattan, where it's a little more residential and a little more lower class (well, that gentrification...) and one of my friends says, "Oh that's not part of the city. The city is lower Manhattan." One of the few things that gets me mad. lol

Uuh... I have never seen that. Sounds like an interesting story.

What about the Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island?

Are you kidding? Come to Los Angeles, son. Then you can bitch.

But of course, you're bitching about...yourself...so I don't really know what your angle is. Are you mad because you think you did it before it was cool?

I already acknowledged LA. :|

And I don't even know what I'm bitching about, to be quite honest.

i love queens had a good time there in the junction station area. I almost exclusively use the train/subs in nyc so i know areas by proximity to the stop and train line lol.

They're the other boroughs. They are not as awesome as Brooklyn, just like Manhattan is not as awesome as Brooklyn.

They have plenty of great stuff going on in them though, just like any part of NYC. It's up to you to put the effort in to find them. You should drink and play bocce in the park in Corona, Queens. You should get some epic Italian food by Arthur Ave. in the Bronx, and check out a Yankees game. You should...well, Staten Island kinda sucks actually. But hey - the Mafia probably lives there, or something.

Brooklyn sucks. If you're not bumping into a shit ton of hipsters you're getting stopped by the million police cars that patrol there because of the shitty amount of drug dealers and retard crazy people walking around. Half of the borough is industrial construction places with gates and large trucks, 25% is projects and bum areas and the last 25% are art loft's filled with aspiring heroine addicts. Dreadful, depressing borough with unfixed pot holes and grass coming out of every sidewalk.

I love Brooklyn too. I'm a Queens native and I always happened to make more friends from people in Brooklyn and Manhattan opposed to my own borrow.

you just gave me chills thinking about robertos and mike's deli. i was there a month ago and its been too long already.

i have lived in new york for going on 30 years now and i know like 4 aspiring actors (former executive assistant in my office and her girlfriend account for half of that).
 
Fucking everyone in NYC is an "actor". Does that mean in NYC the definition of actor is someone that fucks everyone in the city?
 
I consider myself an actor, but only when I'm in NYC. If you want a rugged dude to play the bad guy in your next production, holla at ya boy!
 
i'm an actor and writer. actually funny that this thread is coming up, i'm writing and starring in a show that will be aired on AMC next year. basically there's a bunch of friends who live together and it concentrates on their friendships and relationships with other people throughout a bunch of years, i call it "Pals"

I was filling out an application, and it said to select my current occupation. The two that fit me best were "unemployed" and "writer". Both applied, but the first seemed more honest.
 
I think it's just the company you keep, but it is sort of odd that many people pursue film with no specific goals other than to "make films" (or "be an actor," "make music," "be a writer," etc). I mean, you have to have a fairly big ego to think you can be more successful doing that than anything else.

The marketing girl in my company quit to pursue a career in acting.

An employee at my local Starbucks said she's a model.

Some random guy at Quizno's pointed to a girl in line and said she's a model.

The waiter at Claim Jumper is acting part time.

My Ex is a dancer/model.

And I don't even live in L.A. (South Bay). I can't imagine how many of these actors there are in Hollywood.
 
I lived in Brooklyn (East Brooklyn) and I'm living in Manhattan now.

There are definitely a lot of actors and singers. Out of the maybe twenty girls I've dated here at least half of them where aspiring actresses and another 2 or 3 where singers (usually off-broadway backup singer or something). Oh... and fashion designers, a few of those two. My last real-estate agent was an actor as well, he was in some car commercials and shit.

I'm surprised some of you other people living here say you've never met an aspiring actor.
 
Here in Atlanta, nobody's an actor...but everyone got a mixtape. speaking of which, if you know somebody i got this killer track, part thriller, part weather girls, part three 6 mafia that'll blow the socks off yo cocks.

Everyone in DC wants to be a politician. Difference is most people grow out of it and end up working for the government in some other productive capacity.

I'm on IMDb. Got my union card earlier this year. I'm such a no-name/struggling to find work though :lol

And yeah it's definitely worse in Los Angeles. I'm based in Montreal so it's not too bad over here (well, maybe it is in Toronto and Vancouver). But whenever I'm in L.A., I actually avoid saying that I'm acting. It sounds so cliché, and of course you always get that "look" whenever you mention it.

Most of my Montreal friends have moved to New York, so yeah, I can imagine that place becoming over saturated with actors.
