Are You Being Type Cast?

March 1, 2013 0 Comments

In order to have success in both
the acting and commercial modeling
industry, it is essential that we figure out
what type or look will sell us best.

Many people say that they don’t like to be type cast,
but, I actually think it can be helpful to viewed and
cast in a specific category. It is so important
to figure out your type, create the photos that
accentuate that look, and market yourself that way.

Generally, I get cast as the dad, teacher,
doctor, lawyer, scientist, government worker, etc…
That does not mean that I can’t play other types,
but those categories are the how most people view me.

Don’t fight the categories that others see you in,
instead embrace the look and try to get as much
work as possible.
