Is That Really You In Your Actors Headshot?

Hi Guys

I came across this post on a blog today and thought it was very interesting, You can read the full article if you follow the link below.

Here are a few comments from the article that a casting director posted on her twitter page. Irrespective of the whole furore surrounding this I thought that the THIRD comment was especially relevant to actors and the headshots they use to market themselves.

“If we wanted to hear it a different way, don’t worry, we’ll ask.”

“Your skirt makes me think you’re Wiccan…”

“Who is that person in your headshot? it is def not the person standing in front of me.”

“If you are going to sing about getting on your knees, might as well do it and crawl towards us…right?”

When Actors Equity Association got wind of this behavior Ms. Eisenberg then released the following tweet:

“We have a quick break….for the record, we tweet when the actors are NOT IN THE ROOM.”
