A opportunity to act in a film has come up, I should not miss it.

Is this sentence correct?

Please help me.

come up is okay

An opportunity to act in a film has come (up)/arisen. I should not miss it.

It's fine in speech, but as written it needs a punctuation change.

NB: An opportunity.

Barb_D is right. It should be an opportunity (except in the South, where they say a hour).

svartnik, I believe I started mine before you posted yours, but I posted mine after yours was posted.

Your advice was, of course, right on.
