| What's most outrageous about all of that he has zero experience acting on a stage and his followers are upset that Juilliard rejected him! “Although I’ve never been on the stage, I get to have my own stage right here in this 95-square-foot apartment,” he said. “I can only imagine how great the real stage will feel.” |

| He was home schooled and "attended" a virtual university. Theater is a group effort. Does he work well with others? | |

| Most of the people accepted into Juilliard and similar kinds of acting schools are those who have been pretty much standouts of their high school and/or college productions, and some may already have some professional experience. They've been competitive by already doing auditions, winning roles and going through the process of learning roles, rehearsing them and having experienced doing shows in front of live audiences. They have already shown a commitment in time and energy to the stage, unlike this person, and most of the applicants will be rejected, same as when they start auditioning for professional productions. | |

| Yes, and, while I think actors in training are best served by taking a more liberal arts-centered undergraduate degree in Theatre (read some novels? take some cultural anthropology? study science because not everyone thinks the universe revolves around actors!), I think it's nonsense for most people with as little theatre experience as he has had to expect they will be serious contenders for places like Juilliard. No doubt there are always some exceptions--individuals who are just naturally gifted--but they are few and far between. | |
