Ronald Reagan studied at Eureka College in Illinois. After seeing a play at college, he said: "More than anything in the world, I wanted to speak the actor's words."
But Ronald Reagan did not have enough money to go to New York or Hollywood to become an actor. So, after college he found a job as a sports broadcaster for a radio station in Iowa. Later he moved to a bigger radio station in Chicago, Illinois. He announced the action of baseball games.
This work took him on a trip to California. He took a screen test to become an actor. Warner Brothers Studios offered him a job.
Ronald Reagan moved to Hollywood and became a movie star. He appeared in many movies.
