Really want to dye my hair.. bad idea?

Hello:) i am very pale and blue eyed blonde naturally, which doesn't make me a prototypical blonde: pamella anderson, britney spears etc are quite tan usually. I feel like with my skin color ginger hair would be more "natural", and maybe i'll stand out...

Can I get your opinion on ethics: can we continue to watch movies with disgraced actors?

This may not be the right forum, but ask Reddit would kick this question out. Are we still able to watch movies by the likes of Mel Gibson, Bill Cosby, Kevin Spacey or Roman Polanski. Can we ethically separate the actor or director from their behavior?

Agents taking the 20% agency fee on top of 10-20% client commission for non-union commercials feels like what the writers were facing with agents about packaging fees.

So if an actor books a Union commercial and makes $10k, the 10% commission is $1000. But if an actor books a non-union commercial and makes $2500, the agent could get $500 from the actor and $500 from the agency fee, so also $1000. So then how do actors know...

Do you have to be very social to work as an actor ?

I notice actors are always photographed at social events like parties/bars/ restaurants/charity events…is this a requirement of the job??? What if you don’t want to do any of this would it affect your career???

I finally understand how Christian Bale felt during his Terminator rant

I was on a call to my partner, I told her I was about to do a long 30 minute recording of one of my stories, and if she could please not interrupt me during this time. She said ok she will go to sleep. Apparently she wasn't really paying attention. 10 minutes...

In a scene study class now. I'm in a room full of talented LA actors. They're all so great. I noticed after several weeks every Thursday night would be filled with anxiety. I had a convo with another girl in my class and we discussed why we put so much...
