[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) a lot of assumptions are being made on this thread that just don't bear out. I live in a community with a lot of actors, ranging from working actors who play bit roles to a couple A list stars. So I see these people. On whole, their skin is better than most people, they are not suffering from accelerated skin laity, etc.

2) Actors tend to use more aggressive skincare than the average person. Yes, everyone has botox and filler. But lasers and PRP are what actually make your skin look younger and most people are unwilling to get painful treatments for beauty. But actors are willing and get these regularly.

3) I don't see actors making bigger expressions or more sustained expressions for on-camera acting. Maybe for theater, I don't know, but on-camera acting is about subtlety. People commonly get bounced for "over acting."  Both of my kids (minors) act and one is pretty successful. I think playing Fortnite or watching their football team lose makes them make more exaggerated expressions than acting.  [/quote]

And one more thing to add: the notion that actors all live hard isn't accurate either. Like any other group, they participate in a range of behaviors.

There is one A list actor in town that is in the age demographic that would normally be associated with hard partying. She orders a bottle of white wine and splits it with friends-- drinks but in moderation.  She's not rowdy, even with her friends that you'd think would be rowdy.

I actually can't think of any actor with a rep for partying. Acting is really hard work-- much more goes into it than it appears from the outside. People who don't take it seriously will not book work.  The industry has never been more competitive and they will find someone else who comes to work on time, without a hangover or puffy face, and ready to do a scene over and over without complaint.
