WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Actors usually move to Hollywood to make it big in the film business but a couple in Wilmington actually did the opposite.

Ron Fallica and Allie McCulloch, who are married, moved to Wilmington from LA to get more auditions and open a school for aspiring actors.

The school, called the Actor's Arsenal, opened a few weeks ago.

"We saw a lot of big productions were coming here and we always heard about these films and TV shows being filmed here," said Fallica. "We wanted to be a part of it."

Both Ron and Allie worked for 10 years as actors in LA.

The two actually met in an acting class.
