I've always wondered about the head shot. A "glamor shot" of him would be pretty much the exact opposite of the types of roles he'd want/get. He looks 95% different just hair up vs hair down. Never heard of a comp shot. That makes a lot more sense.
When I auditioned for HHN, they mentioned bringing a head-shot, but also said they weren't just looking for pros, so those were optional. So I just attached a photo of me in my Lucidique costume. SO not a headshot, but I could tell immediately when the people at the table in the front of the room got to my application. LOL I think that photo got me the job before they even talked to me!
If I ever manage to get down there to work again (and I SO want to!!! I die inside a little each year when I get the audition invite) I'm just going to attach my previous HHN photo.
It's occurred to me more than once that for what he wants to do, acting, fire-breathing, probably even sculpting, we'd be so much better off in Orlando. I seem to remember they were casting Pirates in Orlando, and I got the number of the casting agent they use for the "real" acts at HHN the year I worked there.
