Do you think these shots match up with the casting brackets I am aiming for and why?
yes, definitely. headset 2 is a great neutral one. i love the dark side in number 3! and number 5 is more intellectual/quirky.
all the pictures definitely convey intelligence and intensity. you also seem like a 'nice' person, as shallow a statement as that is. i'm not sure if quirkiness comes through so much, although that's perhaps something that's more likely to be perceived during casting rather than in a photo (i.e. i wouldn't describe your face as quirky; you are far too attractive for that).
beardy suits your intellectual powerful stage type. beardless is more quirky and cute.
i don't think that any capture 'quirky' in all honesty, but apart from pulling a funny face, it is really difficult to capture, so don't think you need to worry about that!
i don't know.
yes.
yes, i think they do.
yes
commercial guy - 6
boyfriend, male nurse, possibly a dead-eyed meanie - 5
theatre, classic, general - 4 or 2
i think 3 is a bit over-staged. looks like a shot from a movie promo. seems a bit american to me, not sure about it.
i think all except the last one look intellectual.
