Here's another acting and modeling quick tip with me, Aaron Marcus. So you're going to get a chance to see a very different me by the end of this quick tip. As you can see, my hair looks pretty gray. I am going to be making a change to that, and it's going to look less gray. And I'm doing that for a couple of reasons. One is there's a possible job that I'm being considered for, and I do need to have more brown and less gray in my hair. The other thing too is I've been talking with some agents and thinking about it, and I just have this sense that with my lighter skin tones, that a, a little bit of a darker hair color might make me stand out in a more positive way. So I'm going to be making a change. At the very end of this, you'll get a chance to see the new me. So the key thing is, if you're thinking about making a change, make sure that there's a good reason to do it. And certainly I'm going to update any headshots that I have to reflect the change. And anyhow, I'm looking forward to showing it to you very shortly. So here's the after, and I just wanted you to be able to take a look and see the difference, and also for you to keep in mind that if there is a specific reason why you want to make a change, just make sure there is a good reason. And if you do make the change, make sure your agent knows about it and that all of your photos show the change clearly so that when you show up for either an audition or on the set, you look like your pictures. I'm Aaron Marcus, and it was a lot of fun sharing this with you. See ya.
