Does every upload on Actor’s Access cost money? What I mean is, I spent 66$ for 3 minutes of video so far. If I delete 2 minutes of video, can I put 2 minutes back on AA for free, or will I have to pay $44 again? Is it interchangeable like those two photos are?

I just saw where an actor posted a Hollywood Reporter movie cast announcement (it was a blurry screenshot) about a movie they’d been cast in with their name and headshot added in (the rest are top tier actors).

A friend of mine recently ran into Florence Pugh, she was lovely to my friend and agreed to take a pic and all. Me and my friend are exactly the same height at 5’1.

Pretty much what the title says - I keep getting put in for jobs that I'm very clearly not right for or just not interested in, i.e. it requests a spanish speaker, a black actor, the job is unpaid, etc., so I reject the jobs.
