Aspiring Actor Mugs

"Have a career, and then if you want to try acting, you'll have my blessing."

"Twenty years of acting lessons and all I can get is voiceovers."

'Okay, I'll do one more dog food commercial, but I don't want to get typecast.'

"These people are talented! Such drama! Such flair! And their stories reach millions! That's what I want to be when I grow up!"

"I aspired to be a dog until I was told my panting wasn't up to scratch."

"Actually I'm a waiter but things are pretty slow at the moment and I'm looking for something to fill in between jobs."

"I like you kid, but you're really just a work in progress!"

'Hire my talent'

'They all want to play the star.'

'I...I've forgotten my lines - do you mind reading elsewhere, and come back here later...'

Waiting to be discovered, or taken to work, whichever comes first...

Koyu Rankin and Liev Schreiber

"Larry and Phil aren't sure what they want to do, but Michael is interested in show business."

"Your Gap ad will come."

"I would like a tube of lemon yellow, cadmium red, cobalt blue, ivory, black, and zinc white, a sixteen-by-twenty canvas, a couple of brushes, and that book 'Painting in Oils'."

Reese Witherspoon

Come on! They're posting the spring musical. I can't wait! I want a romantic part! With and elegant gown. Good luck with that! We're doing "Cats."

"I'm gonna be a 'New Yorker' cartoonist. You're not supposed to understand it."

'I don't care if Jackson Pollock did start out this way. We are drawing kittens.'

'I really wanted to only take accounting courses, but my parents made me take this cartooning class so I would have something to fall back on.'

"Oh, don't mind that, it's just my body of unseen work."

"My wife has always encouraged me... ...to quit this stupid dream and get a real job." ... "You have a wife?"

The team video didn't spotlight my talents. I've hired my own film crew. They'll showcase my skills so college recruiters can see my strengths. Wow! How can the director pack so much into one little video? Great point! Daddy? Tell Steven Spielberg we're going feature length. Nice save!

'Miss Donahue would give him an F.'
