Acting : BEWARE: My Image Was Stolen- Here's How I Got Paid by Aaron Marcus

Sorry to hear someone stole your image, Aaron Marcus. I'm glad the actor let you know about it. We have to look out for each other. And I'm glad you got paid.

Thank you. It was a lot of work, but it finally did work out. Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome, Aaron Marcus. Thanks for sharing the video with the community and starting this discussion.

Aaron Marcus thanks for sharing this. I can only imagine the disbelief and anger you must have felt. Thank goodness indeed for the generous and well meaning actor who pointed this out to you. I totally agree that a collective sense of community spirit is so important for actors. Have you experienced this spirit much elsewhere in your career as an actor?

Thank you for sharing, Alexandra. There have definitely been some wonderfully kind and generous actors and models that I have experienced. One actually changed my career and life (maybe another quick tip video). But, It bushes also experienced some who were very competitive, and tried to do some harmful things.

I believe this is just how humans are. We need to surround ourselves with those we can trust and love and let the others act any way they need to.

Alexandra , you always share such wisdom in everything you say.

Thank you so much

My image has been stolen twice. I didn't have a clue about it till a friend informed me. I was invollved in the Facebook lawsuit when my email was stolen & they used it to send advertisements to my friends for a company I would have never recommended. There were so many of us, I only got a stipend.

Wow, Delores, I am so sorry to hear this. That is horrible. I just don't understand how people can do this. I am so glad you were told so at least you could demand that it be taken down.

Thank you so much for sharing your story here.

It's not a new thing Aaron Marcus as despicable as it is. Think of how many products are endorsed by celebrities that aren't really endorsed by celebrities. It is important to be vigilant, may be set up a google alert for your name. As AI gets better and better, the deep fakes are going to get better and better. Dr. Phil had a few episodes where he went after the scammers that were impersonating him, HILARIOUS.

That is pretty scary. Thank you for sharing this.

Hi Williams, not sure what you meant when you said "why will people keep fake profile?"
