Not sure if this is inspirational or just something to share. My first gig out of theatre school in 2000 was a movie directed by someone who made some great 90s films and starred some 90s great stars. I had this scene where I got made up with a whole bunch of fake piercings and then got to improv with the male lead. We…

What if we tried to team up with r/Filmmaking? I mean, we're actors, they're film makers, so why aren't we all working together in a field we all love? I think we could truly help one another out. Any thoughts?

So I was looking at ActorsAccess and I see that shows like 13 Reasons Why and Riverdale are listed as "SAG" on there, can non-unions send in auditions for the SAG movies? Could you get a recurring role on a SAG film despite not being SAG yourself? Would I just automatically apply for SAG right after being casted? Would…

Do agencies like UTA, MGMT, WMA, CAA, Paradigm, MKS&D, AEFH, etc only sign actors who are SAG? Or do they recruit Non-Union actors and hope the casting directors they send them to audition for would "Taft-Hartley" you if you get the part? Would they sign Non-Union actors who are SAG-eligible but not SAG?

I am 18 years old and acting but I have realized that when watching most movies, TV shows, or whatever, most actors aged like 17-21 have no arm hair for sure and none or almost no leg hair. Do directors make you shave it off since it looks better for the screen and because a lot of people don't see teenagers with hairy…
