Are there any agents on here willing to answer PM'ed questions? *Not looking for representation, just trying to get some answers on things*

I know it's a longshot, but I figure we're all anonymous on here, and we're all human. I have questions that no one can seem to answer. As the title says, I am not trying to contact you for representation. I will not send you my materials or anything like...

Becoming an Actor?

Let’s just say I wanted to become an actor. Maybe not a lead role, for the most obvious reason: I have 0 experience. But I’ve always wanted to be in a Marvel film, and with comic book movies on the uprise, it’s definitely something I want to land. Where do I...

Reels on Actor's Access?

Just made my first reel. I'll probably tweak it after some critique, but I'm trying to add it to my Actor's Access account. I know that they charge $22 a minute for uploading video, but why would I pay that when I can just attach the vimeo link to my resume...

Horatio questions?

So, I was recently cast as Horatio in a production of Hamlet. I haven't even read any Shakespeare in over a decade (I know and I'm sorry). As an actor, I'm trying to flesh out this character who seems to be more of a literary device than an actual human...

Philip Seymour Hoffman's process - does anyone have articles or insights into his technique?

Hoffman is one of my favorite actors. Many have said the best actor of his generation. *Highly* skilled on camera and on stage. He studied at NYU and trained with Tony Greco (teacher of Lee Strasberg's methodology) for three decades [article...

Honest advice needed

Long story short: wanted to act since I was 18, was ridiculed by family for it, went to medical school instead due to family pressure and fear of the unknown. Hate everything about medical school and left. I left for reasons beyond acting- I was truly...
