By best-selling author I mean people like J.K. Rowling, Stephenie Meyer, and Suzanne Collins. People who's books are very popular.

By famous actor I mean Kristen Stewart, Zac Efron, Johnny Depp, and Megan Fox. People who have directors tripping over themselves to get a role.
 
I would say actor, it's easy to audition for things and then grow in popularity from that, but getting a book published, book conferences, all that jazz and THEN having it be a best seller, is very hard

More probable would probably be a famous actor, but in my opinion, i would much rather be a best-selling author. :)
 
Best-selling author, if you have the talent. A LOT more goes into becomin a famous actor/actress than just if you have the talent. You have to have the look, also TONS of people audition for roles & you have to be the one they remember & like. To become famous in the acting world, usually you start in modeling, print modeling or commercials & the cattle call auditions they have. If you make it through all that & actually get work, you MAY possibly have the chance to get famous, but it's NOT for certain!
 
I would not like either. I would like to be a GOOD author, though!

EDIT: But I think it would be easier to become a best-selling author, because to become a famous actor one needs lots of luck and lots of dedication.
 
Being a famous actor. You can do anything in Hollywood and people will notice you and you'll instantly be famous. Ex: Paris Hilton and Perez Hilton (lol) Once that happens, people will want you in their movies.

I can tell you what's more realistic and that's becoming a best-selling novelist i mean if stephanie meyer can do it than so can you. but being a famous actor, well that's going to take some work. not only do you have to look unbelievably gorgeous but you have to really want to be famous and want to be in the spotlight 24/7 and be on TMZ every frickin day and i don't see too many normal ppl willing to do that so i'd def. say that becoming a best-seller is more probable and realistic.
 
my guess would be famous actor, just because I can name more actors than I can authors :)
