Have you redone your headshots lately? Headshots are the actors calling card both physically and digitally and should be updated every time your look changes or once a year.   As much as we may love the headshots taken for us several years ago,  time marches on and not looking like your headshot could cost you a chance at that dream role of a lifetime.  
When you are looking at your headshots, ask yourself honestly: "Does that look like me? ".   If the answer is "No",  it's time to get those headshots updated.
