Will being out of licensing age bring more jobs?

Post by aspiringactor »

Hey,

So June 24th has just gone which means I am officially out of licensing age, finally. I know this means I don't have to struggle to get a license anymore, but are there any other advantages and will this bring more jobs?

I honestly don't think there's a clear answer. It all depends what's being cast and whether you're a) visible/known to casters and b) the most suitable for the job.

Quite a lot of "older teen" jobs go to more experienced adult actors who look young :(

PG is right DS thought he would get lots more he gets down to the last few for parts of 14/15 year old parts for a 24-26 year old to get the part playing 10 years older that's for the big parts, find that the lower paid things are much better at least it gets you nice showreels
