Why in the world an Actor would show up two hours late to a set is beyond me. Once is LAME, but twice, from day to day… UNREAL! I asked myself, how could this be? Of course I did not answer myself, that would have been weird. Two actors showed up two hours late two days in a row to a film I am working on. Totally amazed me, and their attitude made it worse, they were like… “No big deal, what is the problem???” So F’ing wrong.

What did make me laugh, is that I heard one of the grips talking to a friend, and he was discussing how lame this was, and how when he gets to casting his first project, that no matter how good these two people were on this project, he would never hire them. But made a fun of them, and said how cool would it be to call them in to audition and then cancel it once they showed up.

Right to the point… DO NOT upset anyone on a set if possible, and if you do… APOLOGIZE, and mean it! You never know who will be casting you tomorrow.

Do not be lame, have a great attitude and you will go far!

ANY Agent that asks for money from you is a FRAUD!  Any agent that says they will sign you after they see how it goes for bit, is a FRAUD!  Other things to watch out for… they tell you that your head shots are not good, and to see a specific person.  YES They are getting a kick back, and NO that is not fair.  If an agent recommends 3-4 different photographers great, if not… something is for sure fishy.

Remember an agent is supposed to work for you, and HELP to get you auditions, and then negotiate compensation for you when you book work.  If it seems too good to be true, IT IS!  Do not be fooled by people, if an agent is real, you will know it… and SAG can verify it, even if you are NOT a member yet.

The Sag website, at www.sag.org is FULL of GREAT information!  Learn it and you will do well!

These are my favorite five Photographers for Head Shots, for different reasons.  They are all top notch, and have great pricing, and really know what they are doing.
