Wow. Great looking young man, and even better now. He is aging beautifully.

Thanks to the Reel for keeping things, well, real [grin]

The photo you chose to post is from what I can tell VDO's first professional head shot. I figure it must have been taken in the early 1980s. Head shots are used to get actors and actresses work and usually come with a resume listing their credits stapled to the back of the photo. A casting agent would receive head shots and resumes in response to a request for prospective actors (and actresses) to mail them in, amd then quickly flip through the photos and pull ones that have the right look for a given part. If your head shot got chosen, you could at least figure on a director seeing it and if interested, calling you in to audition.

There are more headshots at my flickr space (thanks for the plug)!

He's nice looking but I don't like that 1rst. picture. I do LOVE the other three! Specially the one with the stubble! ;)
I think he's one of those guys who looks better as they age though. Or maybe its just cause I'm sort of new to the club?

O no, he is indeed aging beautifully !!! I think the older the man gets the better he looks. Now dont get me wrong, he has always been a great lookin guy, but I think that he has gotten better looking since he hit 35. :)

Couldn't agree more ladies. Some things - like a fine wine - continue to improve with age. Sigh.....
