Many philosophers say it's impossible to explain our conscious experience in scientific, biological terms at all. But that's not exactly true.

Of the Logos which is as I describe it men always prove to be uncomprehending, both before they have heard it and when once they have heard it.

Models have a stigma that they can't act. You're also, to be quite blunt, you're tall and not a lot of actors are tall and when you are starting out you're obviously not the first one cast, so you're trying to fit into a mold. You're quite often not cast as the quirky best friend, but you don't have the experience to be cast as the lead. So it can be really tricky. One of the biggest things is just to get your people, so to speak, your agents and managers to take you seriously. That's one of the issues I had when I came out to LA.
