Acting : Material for reel question by David L Tamarin

Material for reel question

I have a question- I have been in over 20 films, commercials, and television shows, but have none of the footage. If asked for an actor's reel, is it appropriate to use this 30 second commercial where I am in the male lead? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGQWvI963cw&list=PL2B181D4F072A3DFA

I don't think I would David. This spot is really mostly about the girl even though you may be the lead, you have only about 7 seconds of you that I would keep and possibly add to more footage you may garner in the future. To submit this as a reel would possibly give the impression that you don't work much or that your proud of something that barely features you. Be diligent about getting your copy's ! Bets of luck,Mark
