http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1591342/

Please tell me what you think? Does it suck...?

I'm no good at this! What parts can this guy play....? Really appreciate your help!


Thanks!

I'm not really a good judge of headshots, so I really have no opinion on that.

But if you're talking purely based on look -- for some reason I'm thinking comedy -- you could be comic relief, the goofy zany guy, a little "off" but in a endearing/funny way. As for "occupations" I'd say more white collar than blue collar characters - think lawyer, doctor, corporate guy, etc moreso than oil rigger or roughneck. But again, that's based purely on the shot and your look -- having no idea of your voice, your physicality or your acting ability.

I second that opinion. I think Fun young doctor and college kid. Although I think you can do more with the headshot to bring out more personality. It's not a bad shot but it's lacking something just a little.
Good luck

It is a bit "yearbook" with that solid gray studio backdrop. Go outside and do natural lighting, throw your head back and laugh. Give it some personality!!!!

The overriding problem with this headshot is YOUR HAIR.

It overpowers any other single consideration regarding this photograph. Get rid of that "wet look" and go for a more appropriate hair style, sans the curly locks.

"Whatever works."
