This may be a dumb question but thought I'd ask. In the past month, I have had two people on separate occasions ask me if I was an actor or that I looked like an actor. The first time I was buying sunglasses and the two women who worked there said I had "Riverdale vibes" (had to look it up to see what that meant). My d…

My agent has been sending me auditions and when I read about it, the CD wants a demo reel to even be considered. I don't have a demo reel even though I have a pretty decent resume.
