“If there are nine guys auditioning and they're all gorgeous, I have an advantage, because gorgeous guys are a dime a dozen. But if they need someone else - like a goofy guy with bad hair who is just okay - then that's me. And finally, the other 2 percent who audition are geniuses that I could never touch.” IfsNeedsGuyHairGeniusPercentAdvantageOkayNineDozenAuditionsGorgeousDimesGoofyBad Hair Author:Tom Hanks
“Becoming an actor wasn’t a choice – it was something I was forced into. At 3, you can’t make those choices... I supported my family, and if I got fired or missed an audition, I’d be punished as if I’d messed up in school. I was starved, because they wanted to keep my weight at a certain place; my hair was bleached – that was my life. I wasn’t allowed to play with kids on my block or ride a bike or play ball, in case I got a scratch – I wasn’t even allowed to be bar mitzvahed because I couldn’t attend enough lessons.” IfsEnoughPlayKidsWantedSchoolCertainChoicesActorsCasesHairBecomingLessonsMy FamilyWeightBallsBarsBlockAuditionsBikeScratchesMessed UpBar Mitzvah Author:Corey Feldman
“Before you go into what is essentially a competition, you have to have that confidence. You have to ask yourself, "Are they looking for a guy my height? My age? I've got a shot." And if there are nine guys auditioning and they're all gorgeous, I have an advantage, because gorgeous guys are a dime a dozen. But if they need someone else - like a goofy guy with bad hair who is just okay - then that's me.

“I have hair that I audition with, my sitcom hair which is a curly wig. I have my long chic hair that I wear to my son's school so they know I'm not playing around. I always tell people that my husband gets a different woman every night when I come home from 'The View.' Hair makes you feel a certain way, like putting a power suit on.” PeopleKnowsWayFeelsLongDifferentHomeSchoolNightCertainViewsSonHairHusbandSuitsMy HusbandMy SonComing HomeEvery NightAuditionsSitcomWigsChicPlaying Around Author:Sherri Shepherd
“I'm a natural blonde. But when I started acting, I would go to auditions and they didn't know where to put me because I was voluptuous and had the accent - but I had blonde hair.
