| FMCs (Frequently Made Comments) 1 I'm not the movie star type. There is no set "type" that is in the movies, that is a fallacy perpetuated by the press. What it boils down to is the general image of the character that the writer had in mind and who the director and casting director can actually find to fit that character's image. This is true for ANY person in the entertainment field, actors or extras. 2 I'm not that good looking enough to be in the movies. Who is? Many celebrities are really not all that good looking, and that includes the women celebrities. The old adage plays especially true here: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. 3 I'm too old to be in the movies. This may be true if you are 80 years old desiring to be an action star like Mel Gibson. However, if you're only concerned with being an extra, then ANY age is appropriate. 4 I don't know if I can get off work to do a film. If you join newmexicoactors.com or ANY casting or talent agency, you have the responsiblity to make yourself available. That's why you signed up in the first place. You have the option of accepting or rejecting any offer that comes your way. newmexicoactors.com is only giving you worldwide exposure to better the possibilities of being seen and chosen for a project. 5 I'm not tall enough, pretty enough, rich enough etc etc. See comment #2 6 I don't know if I can do it. This is probably the best comment ever. You'll never know if you don't try. To paraphrase someone: If you try and fail, you already won, HOWEVER, if you don't try, you ALREADY failed. Overcoming shyness or public speaking is something one must face and either overcome or make an acceptable substitute to work through your personal barrier. 7 I have no talent or skills. That is simply not true. Everyone has something to give in one way or another. You never know what will happen on a project and what people or talents may be needed. So try it, what do you have to lose? |
