I got an audition for a series regular role. I submitted yesterday through my agent. It is shooting this April. If I got a callback when should I expect one? Does this mean the pool of actors asked to audition is likely smaller than usual? I read a great article here about Casting Steps for a Series Reg https://www.bra…

In my personal opinion I consider RDJ, Tom Hanks, Meryl Streep, and Sally Field as some of the first that come to mind. Who else and who are your inspirations?

Do that first audition. Get the microphone you've been looking at for a while. Take action. You can't get anywhere if you don't attempt to put yourself out there. You got this and you've got a whole community here to support you when you need it. It may be scary or nerve-wracking, but in the end it will be so worth it.…

Just got done from a long background acting gig in a movie, let me tell you my experience so you can gain a little bit of wisdom.

I only recently found out actors are listed on RT, not just titles. Just saw that two of my credits are randomly attached to my name, both from TV. Do people add these details, or is it just AI? And why some credits and not others? Does it actually matter to anyone in casting?
