There I was, retired from broadcasting 21 years ago and wondered at age 60 what else I could do? Be an actor? Never! I'm too old. I learned age is not a barrier...read my blog how it all worked.

You're right, Ray Watters. Some people let age hold them back, but it shouldn't. And some people listen to others when they say "you're too old to act (or write, direct, etc.)." They shouldn't. Your post and blog make me wanna write a script about it.

Yep, Maurice, I'm with you. I just got cast in a feature length horror film. A hefty ensemble role. Back to my roots!

I've been with TV for almost 30 years now. Have always loved acting. There is no retiring. Now, as long as they need an old man, I'm there.

Yup! Started when I was 47. 52 now. Mathematically, I think it works for those of us that are a little older. There are just fewer of us to compete for parts. I have been constantly working since I started. Good luck on your adventure! Maybe we'll meet on set one day!

Age is only a number. As long as we have our health and our mind, nothing should hold anyone back from going after their goals.

Ray Watters how inspiring your story is to me. I started acting at the age of 50. Not a professional yet and your story gives me hope. How are you finding getting work?
