Commercial
I have to ask: What is the difference between any normal actor vs. your statement that you're a "commercial" actor? &mdash; Morder (talk) 00:10, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * MORDER: Sorry if I am not using the site ocrrectly! I can't find any other place to enter a reply to your question. Hopefully you will receive this without me deleting anything. For members of the Screen Actors Guild and AFTRA acting work is divided into commercial and theatrical. The contracts are widely different, the pay rates are different, and you need an agency to represent you for each category. I previously had an agency that represented me "commercially" (to perform in TV commercials) and "theatrically" (to perform in TV programs and movies). Currently I have an agent that only represents me commercially. Therefore I am known in the industry as a "commercial actor". Since I have no one repping me for TV and f;ilms, I have to find those jobs on my own, which is not easy.

Don't apologize, editing a wiki is a new experience for a lot of people. All you have to do is edit your own talk page and put your reply at the end of the conversation. I see what you mean about the difference between the two. When I first undid your edit it seemed to be a sorta "keyword" type addition that added nothing to the actual article and made it completely different from all other actors so I didn't see the need for it. I'll leave it for now but that doesn't mean someone else might not come and remove it later. (Just letting you know) &mdash; Morder (talk) 00:38, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Fellow actors
Thank you for adding information to the article about you. Is there any chance that you remember a fellow actor from ? Here is a link with images. There are four people we don't know (yet). Thank you. Tom 08:41, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
