Knowing your type can be the difference of working in the film and television industry or not. Many new actors have a hard time with the concept of finding their type for headshots. But its pretty simple, take a look at this guy, what type of role could he play? I would say your garden variety bad guy. Bad guys need love to, or should I say bad guys get roles too. The character should come through very natural, and not over done. Characters are not just bad guys, how about nerds, business guy or gal, moms, grandfathers or grandmothers, you get the idea, everyone in our lives is a character. Who are you! 

How about image number two, what do you think is he a little over the top or is her right on target? Let me know your thoughts.
