Hello! I’m looking to switch reps and have a few questions. I haven’t applied anywhere in a long time , so please bear with me. It seems like everyone recommends using Actors Access or Casting Workbook profiles to submit with, however mine obviously still lists my current rep. Is this harmful? Do you recommend submitti…

There's this narrative that Asians can't be actors because it's a high risk field. Well in general, I think it is because from what I've heard, only a few are selected to be the chosen ones ascending to A-list level. But what I find extremely unhelpful is that everyone around me is against the idea. Unfortunately, I gr…

I am a local sag actor based in Boston. It feels like audition opportunities through Boston Casting are few and far between. Are they just super selective with who they call in / stick to a tight pool of favorites? In a smaller market like Boston, it can be discouraging when local actors don’t get the opportunity to au…

Does she know Stella Adler (a woman) was one of the best teachers for method acting? Method is now seen as a joke thanks to people who are NOT method acting but just being pricks (like Leto).

I want to be clear that this sub has been very helpful for a bunch of different reasons and I think overall it is a net positive to have a community like this.

Hello people, first question here. I am just an amateur who definitely does not want to get ahead of himself since I haven’t even taking any sort of acting classes whatsoever lol.

When you’re thinking about joining an acting class what things are you looking for?

I think Jon Bernthal is an amazing actor. I know a lot of people say he gets typecast because he often plays the same kind of tough, damaged, intense characters. But honestly, I think people confuse a character archetype with an actor’s ability. I just watched *Punisher: The Last Kill*, and throughout the entire movie…

I miss acting! The creativity on it, improvisation, stage school, reading scripts, reading plays - all of it.

I've never acted. I don't see myself getting into it. But I often wonder random stuff while I'm watching you do your thing. This is one of those random thoughts. Bonus, do y'all intentionally pull your pants forward when your hands are in your pockets to make your butt look better?
