For the first time, I got my part cut from a script by jorleeduf • last post Nov 7th
I booked a small part in a movie with an A-list actor, I was going to be traveling tomorrow for filming, and I got a message from my agents a few hours ago saying that casting informed them my part was cut from the script. :/ Sucks. Oh well… I guess that happens in this industry. Life goes on

Listen, I know this may sound crazy, but I want to know what the name of Mustache's actor is. Does **ANYONE** happen to know the name of this cat? It isn't in the credits of the movie, I can't find her on any animal actor websites, and I just want to know what the name of this cat is. **PLEASE**!!

I have a actor financially question. I want to start a loan out company, do I need general liability insurance for it? by SumBum09 • last post Nov 7th
I’ve been acting for the last 2 years (mainly bg) and am at the point where I want to start a loan out company. I’ve started other companies before, but never for acting. I wasn’t sure if the production’s required general liability from the loan out companies.
How do actors not let some roles consume them? by jelly_jellooooo • last post Nov 6th
I was wondered when studying acting how do actors not let roles they portray effect them? Some roles can be very consuming and require such emotional intensity, so how do actors protect there own mental health when portraying these characters?
Question for actors and aspiring actors by UlysseesYou • last post Nov 6th
During your childhood years, did any of you display an inclination towards acting out/recreating scenes of your favorite shows, movies or characters from television or film? I don't mean in a professional sense whatsoever, more so just a kid in the backyard with his or her imagination 'acting' away without a care in the world. I use to do this a lot as kid, imagining myself fighting aliens or even sometimes being the alien! [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/ynlp1v)
People's experience with Actors Access Talentlink? by Tricky_Machine575 • last post Nov 6th

Tips for parents of child actors? First steps? by Kooky_Order_9688 • last post Nov 6th
My 14 year old daughter just auditioned and got a role in a major motion picture - this was her first ever audition with no practice or lead up. She beat out 363 people for the role… Saying all that to ask, what now? We are running into issues with school attendance due to filming and will likely need to withdraw her if she wants to pursue this. Do we need an agent or do we just keep an eye out for open auditions? (Where do you find them?) I am looking into getting a professional headshot but what else is necessary? Talk to me like I know nothing - because I truly no nothing about this and want to be able to help her for any future roles/auditions. Thanks so much in advance.
What to on breaks by forde_e • last post Nov 6th
I am a new actor and I have a break in between classes (that I thought would be filled by another class but isn’t) . I wanted to ask what do you guys do when you are on break from acting school, do you join another school or …?

Backstage and Background Work by turdfarts25 • last post Nov 6th
I’m an actor based in LA and I was hoping to possibly get some advice on using Backstage for acting jobs and also other legit Background services. I’m on all the usual casting pages (Casting Networks, Actors Access, Casting Frontier) and a couple years back I was on Backstage but I found in my experience that most of the jobs posted on there were either student films or sketchy types of productions that I didn’t feel were legit. So I’m just wondering if in the past few years the site has improved and if any of you have gotten some professional paying jobs from there. When I’m not on set and have some down time and I’m looking to make some money until my next gig I usually do some background work with either Central Casting or random gigs I’ve found online so I was wondering if there are any legit background calling services in LA? I’ve heard of Face2Face and Extras Management but friends have told me that they’re a nightmare to deal with. Thank you so much for the help/advice!!
Martial Arts as Asian Actor? by bunnyhophop11 • last post Nov 6th
​ I'm a young 20 something Asian Actress and I was thinking about better ways to amp up my resume. I came to the conclusion that learning a martial art might be just that. I'm a trained dancer in all genre's so the process of learning it won't be too difficult for me and I'm genuinely interested in becoming efficient in it as I think it would be a good life skill to have. That being said, I was wondering if anyone had some insight as to what martial art would be the best to learn in terms of what casting people look for. Any input is appreciated!
Is it worth getting a new set for headshots for a different look such as my hairstyle? by caoroux • last post Nov 6th
I have great headshots with my wavy hair but my hair is also curly, especially if I help it with hair products. There aren’t a lot of curly haired actors of my race and type of look so I’m wondering if it would help if I can showcase that my look is versatile. I have no problem switching from wavy to curly. I am going to ask my agent for his opinion but I also like to ask other actors for theirs. Thank you!
You know that saying " there's no such thing as a dumb question," well. . . by Jhg178 • last post Nov 5th
I'm ticked off about BG and extra actors being treated so badly by production etc. Recently, on a four day shoot, I was in a pivotal role ( a judge in a military trial) where we did crazy hours, got served cold, terrible food and even starved one day from from 8am to 9pm ( we were marched over to the food tent at 8:30pm, only to be called back on set so that the shoot could be finished for the day. FYI: the caterers had prepared the food for 1pm as per their instructions! When the shoot wrapped for the day, the food had been thrown away: 80 + pissed off BG actors!). So, is there ever any recognition for BG actors? And let's be honest, without them there would be a fraction of the movies made. How about an collective Oscar for the BG people? FYI: I was just offered a four day part with the same casting company, only this time the pay had gone from $15/hr down to $11.50/hr, I'm reaching for my middle finger! Oh, and how about the unions doing something about this? Ok, rant over.
Actors access advice by Perfect_Excitement65 • last post Nov 5th
What do you do to make your actor's access stand out and get more auditions? Right now, I only have two headshots on my profile with no slate shot, and I don't have a reel, so I use one of my professionlly recorded auditions. I recently took more headshots, so ill add more soon; what is something else I could do to help me stand out more? And are slate shots necessary? If so, how many do you suggest having put up?
What material do you use to practice/for demo reels? by keegtirr • last post Nov 5th
I am completely brand new to acting, out of school right now, have no connections, no experience from school, etc. So i'm basically learning and building my foundation from scratch. I want to make a demo reel out of self tapes and I was wondering what script material and/or how do you find material to use for these tapes? Is it standard to just find any random amateur script that looks appealing to you online? Do you choose famous film/television scripts? Just want to know where to find and what scripts the starting actor would typically use. (I currently do not have an acting coach or class atm either.)
Acting/talent agencies in Chicago? by PaxG0ldc0re • last post Nov 5th
I am 17, almost 18 and I will be moving to Chicago for college along with some other friends. We all plan on living together, a bunch of actors and writers. Anyway, I was wondering if there were other actors/writers/comedians here who both live and work in Chicago to see what your guy's thoughts and opinions were on the talent agencies within the city. Who would you guys reccomend?
Do actors struggle with being fake or not themselves when they're not acting? by gldiatr0 • last post Nov 5th
Acting requires you to fake who you are and how you behave. Does this translate into your real life?
