So yeah, I'm a comedian in school for acting. These headshots are a couple years old but still current.

Tell me what you think my type is, everytime i've done that exercise It's usually ended up as the wacky next door neighboor. I'm cool with that, let me know what you fine people think.

Didn't feel like uploading to a host site, and couldn't find a way to submit more than one pic on a message so forgive the second message.

Honestly, it's hard to get a good sense of your personality from these pics. If you get told a lot that you're the wacky neighbor guy, then I'm sure that is a role that you can play well. But these particular photos don't really give much of a sense of you. There's no real expression there.

Could you provide me with your height and ethnicity?

Your bone structure appears to be of South American descent, but that's just a guess.

Also -- do you want to do strictly comedic parts, or do other things, other roles?

Hmmm. Thanks for the input. I use different pics for comedy promo. I will search through the rest of my pictures for something with some more personality.

I'm actually middle eastern. And 6'1.

I usually audition for comedic roles but feel like I could really deliver a dramatic performance if cast for such a roll. Do you suggest picking a different picture as well?

Dear Kassemg,

You just won me a twenty dollar bet! My makeup artist thought: "He is definitely Peruvian." I thought perhaps East Indian or even Egyptian (she is married to an Indian man).

The most striking feature of your face is definitely your bone structure. I could easily see you portraying leading roles -- I'd classify you an "exotic leading man," according to your pictures. I recall that Indian actor in "Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle", who played the broadly comedic role to a "tee," but is now playing lots of mainstream dramatic parts, as well.

You'll definitely need to reduce the yellow tones on your first picture, the second one is a much more accurate rendition of your natural skin tones.

While I usually advise not wearing glasses in a headshot, the ones in your second headshot give you a very "urban hip" look, and suits you quite well. You may wish to utilize them for those kinds of roles. The fact that you're quite tall certainly puts you into the leading man category, as well.

"Whatever works."

Thanks for the feedback. I actually am 50% Egyptian. I will change the color on the first pic.

Thanks again.
