Is there an anime?
Not yet. To Be an Actor has no anime adaptation announced. Most series never get one, so the comic is the whole story for now.

What it is about
To escape a life of poverty, Jang Youngkuk aspired to be a famous actor. And he succeeds... at the cost of his mother's life. Upon proceeding to take his own out of despair, Youngkuk miraculously returns to his childhood. With a second chance to make things right, he swears to abandon acting and be the good son he never was. However, when financial troubles begin to haunt Youngkuk and his mother, he discovers that he may have no choice but to return to the set for one last take. (Source: Tapas)
