​For any actor, you may find it hard to break through into the industry. Going to the cinema, or watching a television programme can inspire your career. Seeing how your favourite actor, or even a young star with new name wanting to break through, can encourage you to keep working toward your goals in a screen acting career.

When looking at great actors such as Meryl Streep and Robert di Nero, you will find that they weren't discovered overnight. Even young actors who are making their way in the industry, such as the Award Winning Timothee Chalamet, were rejected for roles. One such role for Timothee was 'Spiderman'. The hard work and dedication that these actors put in their auditions and skills allowed them to stand out in the industry.  
Asa Butterfield is an actor who started young making his film debut in 2007 in 'Son of Rambow.' However, his most famous role portraying Bruno in The Boy in the Strip Pyjamas (2008). With praise for his performance, Asa went on to feature in other big films such as Hugo (2011), directed by Martin Scorsese. Asa now plays Otis Milburn in the Netflix original series 'Sex Education' starring alongside Gillian Anderson.

Tom Holland, known for playing Peter Parker/Spiderman in the Marvel franchise, started dancing at a young age and performed in Billy Elliot the Musical on the West End. He made his film debut in 2012 in The Impossible, directed by Juan Antonio Bayona, alongside Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor. Tom was praised so highly, that there were even rumours he was a contender for an Academy Award nomination. Slowly making his way through the industry with featuring in films such as How I Live Now (2013) and In the Heart of the Sea (2015), it wasn't until 2015 when Tom broke through by being cast as Spiderman in Captain America Civil War (2016) signing on to a six-picture deal with Marvel Studios.

Starting an acting career off by doing a commercial is something a lot of young actors have in common. At the age of three, Abigail Breslin starred in a Toys R Us commercial. She then went on to star in films such as Raising Helen (2004) and The Princess Diaries 2 (2004). However, her breakout role was playing Olive Hoover in Little Miss Sunshine (2006). Her co-stars praised her performances and were astounded by her seriousness of purpose during shooting. She received nominations for SAG and an Academy Award for her performance. Carrying on, she starred in blockbuster such as My Sister Keeper (2009), Zombieland (2009), Ender's Game (2013) as well as starring as Libby Putney/Chanel #5 in television series, Scream Queens (2015). 
Looking back at how these actors, and several household names, all started off are different to one another. However, one thing that they all had in common was determination and passion on making a career from acting.
