Can you still respect an Actor if they are a Horrible person?

Recently I was watching Casino and James Woods ... It made me think that while he is a very very good actor... The person James Woods is, judging by his interviews and Twitter, is quite possibly an asshole. It made me recall a number of actors I've worked...

How do you feel about Union actors that take non-union jobs?

I was just curious about how the community views this? I'm non-union and have run into several union actors that have been open about the fact they take a lot of non-union jobs on the side. But I've also heard this sorta low key debated when it comes up...

Advice on submitting to an agency

Ive been talking with a fairly accomplished actor in my area, and he's recommended me a few agencies. Before I made any steps towards any of this, I wanted to look to the team for some advice. Anyone have some sage words on submissions?

Dallas, Texas actors?

Thought I would make a post drawing in all the actors in Dallas - we can obviously keep a facade on here to make things not look ‘obvious’ or leading just in case you want anonymity (like me). I am signed here, mostly go out for print.

is this self-tape quality okay? part 2

I took some of the comments made by the previous users. Right now, I am about to buy me a lighting kit. I don't think I can get any better footage. Do you guys think this is okay? This is all such a mess. Before I had my other camera, it worked wonders, but...

Dealing with getting auditions for roles that offend you?

ACTORS WANTED

I’m honestly curious how successful actors got their start? Is it more common for it to be a “since birth/ mom and dad are rich af” thing. Did they have connections or just randomly go to auditions (I’m interested but wouldn’t even know where to begin)...

Agent said he'll rep me, now isn't responding?

So I'm basically making this post to figure out what to do in this situation. Not sure if it's a stupid question but I couldn't find anything like it in previous posts on the sub. To make a long story short, I got an audition through the Daniel Hoff Agency...

What are your favorite pre-show warm-ups?

I am currently acting in a show at an Equity theatre and have thoroughly enjoyed observing my fellow actors during their warmups. I have even picked up some of their warmups and added them to my repertoire. This got me wondering, what are some of your...

Taking Killians Commercial Workshop Foundation Class in LA because I’ve heard it’s the best commercial workshop in town. I’ve heard Killian can be a drill sergeant, yelling at actors, rude. Is this true? Are the other teachers the same way?

I do have dyslexia and it’s nerve racking enough that we are given 15 mins to learn sides.
