Actors Biogs
Thu, 24 July 2003, 01:05 pmIn light of boulevards of broken dreams and worthless receipts, is it feasible or warranted for this site to provide an area where actors can post a jpeg photo and a three line biog, with contact details?

It seems to me that this boils down to basic economics.
If we already have 2-3 professional websites where people pay between $70-$200 for the privilege, we can't expect someone to set up a website that does the same thing for anything less. No one would want to invest the time to do all that coding and data entry for less than $70 at least I would think.
Also, people might also want to be aware of the counter-benefits of having your profile online for a director to peruse....
PRE-CASTING.
Anyone who is with an agency knows how frustrating it can be when there is an audition coming up for a commercial, play or film and been passed over because the producer or director have looked at their headshot and thought, "I don't think they fit the part".
Having an online archive may stop directors holding open auditions and restrict opportunities for people to strut their stuff.
Lets think about what purpose this online database serves...is it to widen your profile or simply to indulge your ego? Its a fiiine line.
Crispy.
