I just realized. Mads Mikkelsen is so good actor that every time I see the actor in real life I can't think of him anything except one of his characters

When I look for images of him I just see images of his characters based on his facial tone or facial expressions and when I try to think of him as person I just can't. I can't believe he is real life human. I can only see his characters. Talk about life goals

SERIOUS Actors/Actresses of Reddit – when shooting nude sex scenes, what happens when one of the participants gets visibly aroused?

I mean, is everybody okay with it and you simply keep going or is it considered a *faux pas* and the shooting stops until the „perpetrator” cools down? And while we are on the subject – do you have some tricks to avoid rubbing genitals against each other?

Callbacks

So I'm in a callback today, which is great and I get them all the time, and I do the same exact thing I had done in my audition. The director looks at me, and is like quiet, staring daggers at me. Casting director is jumpy (I go into this office all the time...

Where is one of the more booming acting cities in the U.S.?

I've been hearing a lot of things lately talking about how New York and L.A. are oversaturated with actors. People have told me that Atlanta, Georgia is the next booming city? So, are they correct? Should I try to head for Atlanta or should I still try to go...

Actors of Reddit, how was your first acting class? Did it live up to your expectations and what was something that you didn't expect?

So I've posted a couple of times here now, I did a taster class a while back and I'll be starting a 10 week part time beginners course to screen acting tomorrow. This is for a lead up to auditioning for a full time course in July, as I am nearly 25 with no...

What's the UK industry like and what do I need to know?

I'm planning on making the move to London next year (sorry US you're just not for me) and would like to be prepared. A lot of this sub is US focused so I'm not very up to speed with the UK industry. Australia's industry is very small so the rules are not the...

My mom is very discouraging.

My mom never really says good job or anything like that. My big dream (like most of you) is to be a big named actress. I haven't even taken the first step yet. My mom and I were talking and I joking said, "How are you going to babysit my future kids when I'm...

Aussie here. I feel like an absolute fool. I signed with my agent a year and a half ago (mid-2017), with confidence that he and I were going to make a great team going into 2018. I was told 'I can see you doing great things. You have this look that's unique...
