Is it a red flag my agency doesn’t follow me on social media?

As the title says, I’m just curious if I’m crazy or if it is a red flag? They post their other actors bookings and didn’t post my recent commercial booking. They don’t follow me but follow seemingly their whole roster. It just feels weird because they are...

No acting, but unique-ish skills question.

As stated in the title I dont really have a resume. I was in a print ad for Fred Meyers and a background for a Dutchbros promo video about 16 years ago. I went on with life chasing other goals and have come back full circle to the one that I never pursued. I...
