    Actors of reddit: how did you get an agent?

    Every time I’ve tried it turns out to be a scam agency that asks for money up front. I don’t seem to understand the process or know which agencies are decent that will actually get me real acting jobs. I live in Toronto if that helps

    What differentiates characters?

    When I watch films, I notice there are actors that are able to completely transform themselves: Marlon Brando, Gary Oldman, etcetera. Though in other movies, I see that the script and body language are the things that make the character. The underlying charm...

    Actors giving other actors direction

    I'm currently in a show where one of the actors is giving me direction with blocking and acting choices. This is one of my biggest pet peeves, and I think it is more prone to happen in community theater--which is what this project is. My director isn't being...

    I don’t know which path to take?

    Can we please talk about Saorsie Ronan?

    I first saw "City Of Ember" when I was 11, and I loved that movie so much, as a kids movie and only as such, however, last July (2017) I was looking through old movies my family had, and rewatched it. Halfway through the movie, something connected, and I...

    Feedback on my headshot?

    Hello fellow actors, I was wondering what you thought of my headshot? I usually get cast as the cop, detective, or tough guy. My coach said I need a shot of me smiling to do commercial acting which I might agree with. Thanks! https://i.imgur.com/8O0IOGY.jpg
