How often should an actor renew casting/headshot photos?
Anywhere from six months to two years, but as a rule it’s best to get new fresh headshots as your look changes, i.e. growing a beard, gaining or loosing weight etc. Young actors naturally go through physical changes quicker than mature actors. I once came across an actress who hadn’t changed her headshot for fifteen years and only decided to have new headshots when a casting director was infuriated when she turned up for a casting looking a completely different older woman.
