Following my post saying that an influencer (non actor) got the role I auditioned for and that I was asked about my social media during my audition, most people said that it was normal to prefer famous people and that social media actually is important for an actor. So I guess, I should work on becoming « famous » too.…

I noticed most people submit to both union and non union projects. I was under the impression if you're union eligible, then go ahead and submit for the union projects. But if you're not even union eligible, shouldn't you only be submitting to non union projects? Clarification on this would be appreciated.

I've noticed that a lot of black actors in Hollywood start off clean shaven or are constantly clean shaven in a lot of roles. Is this an unwritten rule?
