How to Become an Actor in BitLife

If you want to make it to Hollywood in BitLife, you've got to get started on the right foot. One thing that means is choosing a starting character that looks as attractive as humanly possible. Unfortunately, your stats are randomized, and your score in each category up to 100 isn't something you can customize. You need to worry about Happiness, Health, Smarts and Looks.

You need a 70 in the Looks category at the bare minimum if you want to make it as an actor. That means simply re-rolling or remaking your character until you get one that has the attributes you need. With that in mind, keep trying until you get a successful base player and go from there.

If the Looks category is still a little low, you can always take part in these activities to raise your attractiveness:

  • Going to the salon
  • Going to the gym
  • Going to the spa
  • Having plastic surgery
  • Getting haircuts
  • Having hair dyed
  • Waxing
  • Getting manicures and pedicures

Once you've played the game long enough to graduate from high school (with a high Attractiveness stat), you can opt to start working. Be sure to choose the Voice Actor job and get going right away. You'll need to hold on to it for six in-game years to be promoted to Actor, then wait until your fame bar fills—you'll become an actor!

Once you're an actor, you can partake in a variety of different activities that will continue to help you stack paper. But getting there is the hard part, and once you're there, you should be able to remain there for the foreseeable future.
