I always here people in the industry say that someone has a great bookable look. Is there a way to improve your look so that it is more unique? I know this sounds like a silly generic question and the answer differs for most, but I see a lot of the same actors book because the CD or director loves "their look."

I think "the look" is what they're looking for at that particular moment.

I've heard so many times that a CD knows whether they're going to use you or give you a callback the minute you walk in the door.

Just look like yourself... find your "brand" as they've been saying lately and market yourself that way.

Before you start thinking about changing your look, you need to know what it is. Most actors have no idea of what they project. So talk to your acting teacher, agent, and acting friends. Try to get a feel for how people see you. That will help you decide if you need to change your weight, hair, manner of dressing, etc.
