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?

Network Approval?

My daughter had a self-tape audition recently. 2 days ago we were asked for an availability check and told that she was getting sent for network approval. In your experience, how long does this take? Outside dates start in 2 weeks and we’d have to travel. Her...

Why do acting classes stress me out more than an audition?

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...

How to deal with rejection

A month ago I got the news that I was being considered for the lead role in a new series on a streaming service, after two years of no work and very few auditions. My agent said that the director and casting directors really enjoyed my audition. I controlled...

How do I ask my agent to submit me for different roles?

I'm mixed, and all he submits me for is black roles. One of my white friends told me he submits him for black roles as well as white (he is not black passing, it's an attempt for my agent to gain profit from erasing diversity from a project just so one of his...

I wanted to get other actors opinions on this. I already post about projects I’m in A LOT, because I obviously I want the project to do well. However, I’m currently signed onto a project that is expecting actors to post the crowdfund link daily. I’m not a...

I want to try and pursue acting, but I fear that it may be futile.

As a child, I always had an inclination for performing, and I was charismatic, quick-witted, extroverted, cute, etc. So, as a result, and based off of the advice from many people who were close to my mother and father, they (my parents) decided to try and get...

How to get out of an audition?

So I applied for a really interesting sounding role on Backstage, and they got back to me today about moving forward in the process! However. I suddenly remembered to do my due diligence (I know) and look up the company and the people involved. I found a...

Finding your “TRIBE”

For my actors out there. How hard was it for your to find your tribe or community of actors? The ones you hang out with on a daily basis. Do auditions with, run lines for auditions, and maybe go to class with. Being in LA can become a lonely journey, and I am...

What movie / TV show inspired you to act, and what movies do you think are important to the business, historically or otherwise?

For me, Better Call Saul pushed me over the edge from daydreaming about being an actor to actively trying to pursue a career in it.

What is the next best move in your opinion?

I work out of a city that isn’t NY or LA but have found some success here. I’ve shot for network and streaming shows that were minor characters, but the work is yearly and over time I have a resume that is longer than most of my peers here. The issue is all...
