Who are the important casting directors in NYC that you need to get in with?

I'm looking into workshops with casting directors, and I asked my agents who they'd like to see me get in front of, and they just said "email us and tell us who's giving classes, and we'll tell you if it's worth it" Well, two problems with that. 1. There are...

Does anyone else have a hard time getting footage?

I've filmed over 10 films now, and only 3 have actually sent my footage (and to my luck, the 3 were the worst quality films I've done to where the footage is useless in my demo reel). I've reached out to all of the people responsible for these films; one said...

Gay actors on straight acting?

I am gay. Not femme, but not "average guy." Like, people usually pick up on me being gay pretty quick, but not by sight. I'm nervous that this will really get in the way of me playing straight guys. How do other gay guys feel about this? And are there online...

Acting with glasses

I was a promising actor at school and it was an aspiration, but ruled myself out for wearing glasses (and having bad enough eyesight that I can't go without), and also being SAsian, deciding that those two things would strike out almost every role. Was that...

Is Alan Baltes a scam?

He recently posted video auditions for Star Wars, Spiderman: Homecoming's sequel and Captain Marvel, but he asks for a fee. Is he scamming actors? I looked up in twitter and there are mixed vibes.

Any stunt actors here? I need recommendations for good stunt training locations in Los Angeles, please!

The only place I've heard of that is not that expensive and good is JAM, but they're a little too far from the Los Angeles (DTLA) area. Any other good places that are inexpensive and close by? Thank you!

Was browsing Gin Hammond (Vengeful Spirit, Mirana, Drow Ranger, Enchantress voice actor) website and I found out new lines for Artifact were recorded.

Nothing really special, but I was thinking maybe Sorla Khan will have Gin Hammond as voice actor. Also, maybe new lines were recorded for DOTA, such as arcane rune lines and stuff. I thought it would be nice to share this as I think and hope Artifact will...
