Well, figured I might as well take a stab and see what you guys think about my newest headshots. Smiler Good or bad, any constructive criticism is appreciated! Smiler

Photos done by Sean Spence and his wife Robin.

None of these are touched up yet. And they are the narrowed down choices of the whole bunch that my family, friends, and I liked best.

If you happen to want to take a look at the whole shoot, you can check them out here:

In terms of what I get cast as, I'm usually:
-the nice guy / guy next door
-unlikely hero
-stoner

Also note that in the green shirt pics, the collar buttons would be photoshopped, and in the hoodie pics, the skulls on the hood can be removed as well (I've heard mixed opinions so far).

In addition to headshots, I'm hoping to use some of these pics for stuff on a future website, business cards, postcards, etc.

Thanks for any input!

I really like #10 - you have great eyes!

I also like #2 with the eyebrow raise - gives it character - but I don't know from a casting director or agent perspective which of the bunch is most marketable Smiler

Some very usable pics in here for sure. But, do you have any where you don't look stoned or is that just you? Not being mean but you said that's what you get called in for and I believe it! Wink

So does that guy on Burn Notice...I think all your pictures are nice, but I like the non-stoner ones the best.

Lol, yeah, for better or worse, that's what I look like. All thruout high school and college, and on almost every set I've been on, people always ask me if I'm high.

Funny part is I've never smoked or done anything. Smiler

But hey, as everyone says, work with what you got and worry about expanding your range later once you're in the door. I'm guessing a stoner role could be my doorway into the mainstream, should the opportunity arise.

And thanks for the comments so far everyone! Smiler Much appreciated.

I meant the ones that you weren't wearing the skull on your shirt. It looks too sloppy. Use your professional tie look and it kind of balances out your "sleepy" look.
