Welcome to the world of color Adam. No matter how similar you look to your black and white headshots, casting directors assume you must be in your fucking 50s if you're still using them. So we start all over. Enter the incredible Robin Manno who "Palmolive" hooked me up with two days ago. She did the shoot and got us the DVD with the shots the same freaking day. (Future clients she would kill me if everyone I refer expected that - I just mention it to show how hard she tried to make things work out for us) And here they are...

Hello to Adam looking like Adam. In fact wearing the same shirt he seemingly wears every day. So much show that the only photoshopping done in this picture was to remove a hair out of place and take the fucking STAINS off my shirt. (sigh).

Alas, commercially - being "cool" doesn't always sell. Scruffy, hard-working "dad" most certainly can... and, well it's kinda nice to just - not shave, put on a long sleeve shirt with my messy hair and be ready to go. :-) The reverse of this is of course...

Awwwww... how sweet. Totally soft, mushy and loveable... of course all I see is Spencer, but it's not horrible... just not me. Oh and a few of you asked me why I didn't actually do Spencer for this shoot when I put these on Facebook and it's because I was only doing looks that I could pull off instantly for auditions. Spencer's wig isn't good enough to audition with and there simply isn't a call for that character enough to do what I did for CBS (actually keep Spencer's hair/eyebrows all the time and add-on when I need to be Adam). Thank the fuck christ for that, right? Ugh. No, this is enough feeling trapped in my own skin thank you very much. Of course, the final look for Adam is my favorite by far...

I'm literally DREAMING of the moment when CAMERON gets booked over Adam and I can do a little Journey video of Cameron laughing his ASSSSSSSS off at him. So yes, the little quasi-character I made earlier this year for my Tivo audition gets his very own headshot. It is perfect for that techie-snarky dude that could easily pitch an entire campaign. Limited theatrically 'cause it's so specific, I really have hope for this commercially. Oh and again, theatrically doesn't mean theater - it means movies/tv. Confused a few of my friends on that. I never talk about it on this site 'cause I've never considered myself an actor. It's all a means to an end. Of course I do actually act, but clearly creating is where my heart thrives. But Adam has two mortgages.

 

Now while we were at it of course... had to let Cameron get a shot

So glad I knocked off 20 pounds since July. I have a bit more to lose, but it shows in my face - and these characters finally look the way they're supposed to. For the entire run of the Egos on CBS I was 25 pounds overweight and it really showed. But again, please let Cameron beat Adam to a booking. Oh what sweet irony for the dorky brother. :-) And in fact I'm seriously considering making multiple accounts for Cameron, Adam and...

I mean come on. Look at that PIMP. Dahahahaha. Very small percentage of the time that this headshot will be needed, but when it is needed? Daaaaaaaaaamn. This is perfect. And Gary, in general is just a great character for selling stuff because he has that goofy look. You know the one I'm talking about...

Tell me that's not a print ad for something. BWAHAHAHA. Again, may hardly come up - but we figured why not - let's just do it. He can play hard-serious and hard-goofy very very well. He. It just isn't me folks. After nearly 10 years? That is a different human being. Without a doubt. I mean you go from that... to this:

This gives me chills. It's actually so unsettling, Laura said she can't even see it being used theatrically. It's difficult to look at. It's also the first time I've seen me unshaven where I have true age in my face. Whereas the smiling unshaven looks younger? This looks older to me. My face shape is more drawn, and fuck... there is a world of sadness in that mofo. And the slightly scruffed up hair projects this mess of a backstory to me. All positives to me. Glad I was able to get so much in one shoot.
