You can’t be a complete goon and survive in the real world. Even in showbusiness. And most times actors/actresses and TV personalities aren’t employed in that line of work for their entire lives. Education is easier when you’re younger.
this has certainly to do a lot with the parts you want to play, you do not need that much intellectual polish if you look good, but does anyone want to just stop at that
If your talking about being a movie star i think its necessary because to be an actor you have to go to drama classes.unless your really lucky and get discovered. Also to be successful in any career you have to have knowledge and education.
For one it reduces the amount of time one needs for exploration. Companies don’t want you to make bone head mistakes, they want you to screw up doing something amazing.
It also reduces the amount of people that are trying to break into the guilds, a type of screening process.
Even though many people think that if you are creative you can be a great artist, that is not the case; rather being creative is a prerequisite for having the potential to be a great artist.
Just because we are in an era of advancement and specially the media is advancing in a rapid pace new techniques and things, trends are being introduced on daily basis so to keep up yourself IN you have to have trainings & necessary education if you want to succeed.
Well first off not all people need it to be a star. Why did you assume that all people feel that way? But an education and training provides you will a wide variety of observed personalities to imitate and a wide array of personal experiences to reenact.
Film and television are much more technical than they used to be. And a knowledge or skill in a technical area of the television or film industry will also get you into the inner groups of industry offering you opportunities that you may not otherwise get, in meeting people, in understanding the requirements and getting job information. Start to network with people who do what you want to do.
The reason that I say these things is because my brother works for public television, my son is interested in film, and I have seen other people go into communications in school and do pretty well.
However, certain schools tend to lean toward either television production or film production. And you should make certain that you pick a school that has a good curriculum that is respected so that you will have no trouble trying to get a job.
My son was able to shadow a film class and he tends to read, study, watch films a great deal, and to make short films and videos in high school. Do some research on the internet as well.

exactly. You need an education so you can think of those general ideas and not rely on others.

You need training and education in whatever field you want to enter. Without it, you have little to offer.
