My thoughts and expectations about acting

I don’t have a passion. I didn’t know what to do in college, and I picked at random: economics and cs (since from there I can do data science which goes in different fields). However, during the pandemic (the first lockdown) I realized I loved movies and tv...

Trying to find a specific acting book

I remember reading an acting book a while back. I didn't get too far into it but there was a part where it talked about an actress filming something and she had to keep re-filming the scene because planes were flying overhead. She had to constantly cry as her...

How are you guys staying ahead of the game?

So I keep my ear out there, and I’m privy to some insider information occasionally due to being on the other side of the camera in the industry. So my question is, are some of you vets out there telling your agent/managers about projects you’ve heard of, and...

I’m not sure if I’m being sensitive or if my agent is just rude.

I signed with my commercial agent about 6 months ago. I was fresh out of college and felt as though I needed to be signed IMMEDIATELY!!! I was super excited because I felt that the meeting went well but, over time I started to feel as though this may not be a...

Is he overreacting? Should I go to bat for her or leave her to her fate?

I opened a center a few years back for the town to have a community center. They have shows, festivals, concerts, etc. I basically run the venue. Anyways, I know pretty much everyone who gets the space personally. A guy who had it last weekend is a HS friend...

Asked for Submission Report

I asked my manager for a submission report and they responded that they do not send out reports. They are with a well respected office, but I was under the impression submission reports are information actors are entitled to have. Is this something that has...

Do any of you have an industry age/stage age? Or have you met any actors that do?

I was just reading about Gabrielle Carteris and how she said she was 21 to get the role on Beverly Hills 90210 when she was actually 29. And then she was told later if they knew her age they wouldn’t have hired her! Which I think is ridiculous because she was...

What do you guys think when people say about auditions “it’s all in the text”?

I’m starting to think me focusing on creating memories for the character can be a waste of time…like is it better to lay off on the actor side a little bit and get on the writer’s side? AKA the story?

What do TV actors do if a baby misbehaves during a scene?

Do they memorize multiple versions of the same scene? Or do they just re-shoot it when the baby is calm again? I've always been curious.

Opinion on sex scenes

I saw this thread on twitter earlier about a debate on sex scenes which I thought was interesting seeing non actors talking about it, so why not ask the community that actually have the chance in being in one some day, or maybe decline being in one. Do you...

After 13 years of schooling, including a year of university, I’ve dropped out. I plan to move to Philadelphia and try my hand at becoming a small time actor (with hopes of becoming more) like I’ve dreamed of and do it while I’m still young. I only have one...
