A note about pictures: 1)friendly/nice 2)business 3)serious/menacing 4)3/4 or body shot (ALL IN COLOR)
4Th pic/category Women- IF you want to go out for "bikini" type roles consider getting a body shot (maybe even in a bikini). Men if you are extra buff and want to play up that angle, consider getting a body shot. (maybe in a muscle shirt, flexing your guns).
Anyone with a character look - large, lumpy, different... whatever. consider getting a body shot. Be sure that all your pics are cropped correctly on your Actors Access account. And be sure that all your online info is on you resume as this is used to search and link you up with projects.
I am here for you when it comes to choosing your pics. As any good rep should be!
Reels: Actors in the big leagues all have reels! You need something on disc that is under 5 minutes, showcases you - NOT your co-stars. Put your 1 minute reel up on Actors Access - but only if it is completely professional looking. There are other tips, just ask me when you want to know more.

I was on the subway today listening to two actors talk about the business. One said that the Italian look is out and the nerdy/70s/mustache look is in. Not sure if that's just for NY.
