    Tear sticks = unprofessional?

    Do directors think less of actors who use tear sticks? And how common is their usage in general? Have you or an actor colleague ever used them? Were they provided by the director or did you have to buy them yourself?

    Non-Union Double Dipping by My Manager

    I worked an amazing gig a month ago and the breakdowns from the beginning said $850/day+20% agency fee for the actor's compensation. I was on set and a producer off-handedly mentioned that since production is paying for the agency fee, I get to keep all my...

    How did you get signed to your talent agent? I don't want to waste time working on projects that will hurt me, by making me seem less serious, rather than help me by showing that I am a strong actress.

    Hi all, I got into professional modeling young, all I had to do was show up with simple digitals and answer some interview questions. I am navigating the entertainment industry here in LA now, and it is extremely different. I would love some of you working...

    Can a SAG-AFTRA actor choose to work for free?

    I want to employ a SAG actor on my LOW budget feature film. Looking through all of the SAG-AFTRA paperwork it looks like a massive headache and extra expenses that not even the actor himself wants to burden the production with. Is there a way a union actor...

    Never knew my 'type'.

    I'm not an actor, I'm just a guy who had a couple of dreams and fantasies of being one. I know the "never too late" stuff, but save that for now. One thing that hindered me was that I never had the beginnings of an idea what my 'type' was. I feel like I've...
