Last Month's Column:

How much money do models get paid?

Next Month's Column:

I live in Atlanta, but am planning on working with an agent in TN. If I get calls for auditions or go-sees in Tennessee, would I be responsible for my travel expenses?

From Kim, PA

I was told by an actor that I should put background actor on my resume instead of extra, because it sounds more professional, is that right?

Dear Kim:

I would not suggest listing background actor or extra on your resume. This does not show anyone that you have any acting skills. Just wait until you have a day-player or principal role to list on your resume.

If you thought this was helpful, imagine how much you will learn from reading "How to Become a Successful Commercial Model." and by attending my Acting/Modeling Boot Camp.
