Yet again, another doubt (and debt, for that matter) plagued neurotic actor asks for opinions about his new headshots. http://www.uk.castingcallpro.com/portfolio.php?uid=84323ℑ=350427 Do they look like the me in my (long and boring, and yes, I am re-cutting it, and no, you won't get the three minutes of your life back) showreel? Should I be using the 'long hair out' shots for my profile pic, even though I consider the 'hair tied back' shots better pictures? Or am I crazysexybeautiful in ALL of them, dahling? Will Princess Charming ever ask me to the ball? Will anyone notice I forgot to pluck my monobrow? Will that bloody theatre company get back to me with the date I'm auditioning so I can organise flights/trains/buses/camels/submarines? And finally: Who put the bomp in the bomp-shu-bomp-shu-bomp? Looking forward to hearing from some/none/all of you! Kirk 'Not quite as entertaining or annoying as SplatCat, but is willing to give it a damn good thrashing' Moore

Obviously, the long haired shots are going to be very useful in any situation in which you are aiming to get cast for the sake of the hair; otherwise, I suppose if you are tying it back, then the shots with the hair tied back are honest enough!

I don't know about men having their hair tied up...don't know what the form is. But I think it is important to show what you actually look like. So maybe you should have number 5 with your hair down. good luck with your decision Sarah xx

I'll have to see how purty I am in those, too! Now, the ironic thing is, after getting all the new headshots done, I have to shave down to a moustache for my next project next week! D'oh! Ah well, it'll only take a couple of weeks to grow the hairy chin based food and drink storage receptacle back...
