Is it Helpful to Own a Toupee?
An actor who also gets commercial modeling work contacted me and wanted to if it would be a good idea for him to purchase a toupee. He has very short hair and is a beginning to lose his hair on top.
He thought it might be helpful to him to purchase a toupee in order to offer a different look, be able to easily audition for parts where the characters need a full head of hair.
I told him that I believe that the best thing to do is to invest in a great toupee. It can be very helpful to show the casting director or photographer different looks. The wider variety of looks you offer, the greater the chances are that you will book more jobs.
I would always bring the toupee with you to auditions and jobs in case they want to see you with hair.
Let me know if you have any additional thoughts about owning a wig or toupee.
