Forget about moving to Los Angeles. The culture shock of simply changing countries will take more than a year to get used to, and during that period you'll be uncertain about your decision, uncertain about your sustainability in expensive LA, not knowing the city there is a strong likelihood you'll move into an unsafe area, and you'll get crazy lonely in this large place. Exactly when you need the most confidence, you won't have any. Plus, let's say you do move, and you get extra parts and take some acting lessons... "acting" is performing someone else's script, ideas and emotions. If you really want to be a successful Hollywood actor, you don't begin in Hollywood. You begin right where you come from, and you start making your own stories. You have a unique life story, with hopes and dreams and trials and crisis. Being a successful Hollywood actor is "nothing more" than being able to communicate the life experience though your filmed actions. However, that is extremely hard. And "Hollywood" is not very consistent at communicating the life experience well. That's the whole point behind the award shows: so much disposable media is created, when the few that actually convey our trials in life are released we celebrate because that successful communication is so rare. I recommend you start creating your own short films. You can shoot on a mobile phone - TV shows and at least one feature has been shot on a mobile phone (www.olivethemovie.com). Now here's the difficult bit: you do this, regardless of feeling embarrassed by your family, friends and environment; regardless of not having the money or the skills to create your own shorts. You do this because you have to or you will die inside. Seek out people in the Malaysian media industries, see how productions are created by being a non-actor gofer, and learn how to create productions yourself. And start creating them, even before you know how. Just do it. Iterate again and again. Develop your writing, production creation, and acting all at once, and do it locally where you are today. If and when you develop your skill as a story teller and actor, and you are honest in your stories about the human condition... Hollywood will come to your door and ask for you by name. Honesty and the ability to communicate that is what causes Hollywood to take notice.
