Hi, Was working as a background 2 days ago.We did 4 takes, and after that I and 2 other backgrounds where directed to move into locations out of frame with a comment that we were "crossed out". What does this mean? Director decided that the scene is better w/o background, just principal actors in the shot? Thanks!!

All I hear is "I have a passion for ACTING" or "you need yo have a PASSION for ACTING" to make it in this business. And honestly, I don't know, well more like I don't think I have a passion for the art-form of acting. I don't care about plays as I've never seen one...What I do care about is movies. I fell in love with…

Hi Everyone! So, I'm a non-union actor and I've been acting (seriously) for a little over a year now. I just signed with my agency this past January (2019), so I'm kind of one of their newer talents. I've booked two commercials through my agency so far, and I'm very grateful to my agents for getting me so many opportun…

Currently as the title explains most I’m 23 years old and even though my mind is set on becoming a well known successful actor I find a lot of people in my life including my parents keep telling me it’s to late to start acting and it’s all about who you know, it’s making me discouraged to make this move and pursue acti…

Am I wrong here? They were the people in class that gave it 80% at most instead of 110% - hey look they get business and that’s great but something I’ve noticed.

Especially the TV dramas of 80's. Many faded into obscurity. Why? I assume being branded as your TV character hurts your film career. I assume other TV roles offered are retreads of their old character. I also know TV is long hours. Do many go and pursue theatre?

Whenever my co-actor says her long lines and I am behind, sitting and doing nothing, I feel awkward. Like, I feel like a statue. And there is a limited prop---a pillow and a photo. What stage business should I do while sitting and looking at her say her sad lines?

All, I always took improv classes because i thought i was funny. I never was successful at it..never got asked to be in a troupe.. I did get in a student lottery show. I just was too tense about it.

All these online marketplaces for VO talent charge exorbitant amount of fees for simply allowing you to be seen by customers, and giving you the chance to audition. Why do VO actors still use them?

I was cast in a play a couple months ago. The director/writer was very unorthodox to put it simply.
