Just be logical!

With regards to casting opportunities, once again,  there is no certain look. The director may have a certain need, a certain skill set. For example the need is for someone that can roller blade or water ski, play soccer etc. There may also be certain restrictions like no physical disabilities, or contrarily someone with a certain disability. Traditionally if a role specifies nothing other than gender or age range the assumption is that the role is for a able-bodied person. Actors also need to apply some logic when seeking roles. I've had new wannabe talent come in to see me and say they are 25 yrs of age when in fact they are 42 yrs of age, "Everywhere I go people tell me I look to be in my 20's. My response " You don't get to decide how old or young you look". And truthfully sometimes when suggesting that you look 15 yrs younger than you are comes across as almost silly. Some of those that say they look younger actually look older. So, apply some logic. PLEASE.
