I’m just starting out as an actor. I’m vegan for ethical reasons but health wise my body has always had a nasty reaction to dairy, and I’m sure if I ate meat after years of not, it wouldn’t be fun.

I mean I was trash. I didn't know it (for some reason the director decided to just not say anything) but when my character had a gun in his face and I was supposed to look scared, I looked like I was at an office meeting or something. I was so normal and bored lookin. Not to mention my awful, creaky voice. I sound like…

I recently did a chemistry read with an actor I’ve always wanted to meet and I know I loved my performance, the director kept telling me how much he liked what I was doing and even went as far as to say he felt my emotion in the scenes but I did this Thursday and it’s now Monday and I haven’t heard anything. Does this…

So recently I've been doing research on managers. I don't remember where I heard this once before but I remember hearing from someone that you "shouldn't get a manager, until you have a career to manage." Implying that unless you need a life coach, someone to handle your scheduling, etc. that it's not time. So for a wh…

I am a Los Angeles based actor about to sign with an NYC agency, working in a sort of "local hire" agreement as they are not a bi-coastal agency.

For my first gig, I have been working on the first season for a major network as a background actor. I’m having a good time for a non-union actor and learning a ton from the experience.

For example, Rhett & Link played themselves in their YouTube red series but it was fictional. My little sister isn't understanding me when I tell her I'm playing the part of "myself".

I'm considering using WrapBook for our production. I'm curious how common it is. If many actors have already used it, and therefore already have profiles, we'll probably go with it since it's easy for the actors. If you've used it and have anything good or bad to say, please leave a comment. Thanks. [View Poll](https:/…

I've never understood why Thespian isn't the professional term for an actor. A: Thespian is a gender neutral term.

It seems an echoed belief on the internet that TV was seen as the backwaters of the entertainment and that only the losers of the acting industry go to TV.
