I know what you mean about regrets. I tried to pursue a career as an actor when I lived in Colorado. I attended an acting workshop, appeared in a local commercial in Colorado Springs, and even went so far as to get head shots made. But...all that dried up when I moved to another state. This town just doesn't have the same resources for would-be actors. It's probably just as well--I'm disabled, and it's notoriously hard for disabled actors to get work.
